Tournaments and Matches
- Tournaments are hosted by association members on the 2nd Saturday of each
month, except for May. There will be no tournament for May due to Socorro High School and NMT graduation ceremonies.
Non-members are welcome to participate in tournaments, however, all participants in a tourney do need to pre-register
by contacting one of the officers or by contacting the tournament host. Entry
fees for all players is a can of low altitude balls. Non-members are charged an additional $3.00 entry fee to help
cover the cost of refreshments served at the tournaments. For hosts arranging future tournaments, Barbara Szabo has
located a free trial program that allows hosts to arrange double draws according to gender and playing ability. We
would like as many hosts as possible to try out the new program located at
Double Happy.
