ROSE JUG

The Rose Jug Singles is:

A bracket, double elimination tournament for all genders and all skill levels conducted on a flexible schedule between July 4th to October 3rd. Players will have a set period of time (usually 10 - 12 days) to complete their match on their own schedule.

• The final will be played on October 3rd.

• Draw will be random and will take place on July 4th.

• Bracket will be posted online and competitors will be notified via email as to their opponent and timeline for completion.

• The match must be completed prior to the deadline for that round of matches.   

• If a match is not contested within the timeframe, a coin flip will determine the winner.

• This year, if match competitors are available, there will be an opening day of the matches on July 4 at 10:30am. Do not worry if you or your competitor are not available to play on July 4 – you will at least have 12 days to complete your first match.
