Time
Registraation/Setup: 11:00
Doubles start at 12:00, singles to follow.

Pricing
-$3 Venue Fee (Waived if you bring a setup) (Since there is probably going to be a high volume of people, you'll have to pay venue even if you are spectating/playing friendlies.)
-$5 Singles (Un-ranked players only. If you were EVER ranked you are ineligible.)
-$10 Doubles ($5 per person) (Un-ranked players only. If you were EVER ranked you are ineligible.)

So it's 10:40pm Friday night before the tournie, says RSVP's closed.. Does that mean there's zero chance of getting in? What's the procedure for trying to get in when it's closed, I'll sell my left foot for a means to entry.
