  • $25 for one event, $35 for two events (maximum two events allowed).
  • Entry fee includes one EDBA T-shirt and we guarantee three games per event.

    • teams with two ladies, 5 points handicap
    • teams with combined 130+, 3 points handicap

We introduce “Combined 120+ with minimum age 40” to promote different age groups. Each team member must be at least 40 year old, and the combined ages must meet or exceed 120.

If a men’s doubles pair whose combined age meets or exceeds 130yrs are matched against a mixed doubles pair whose combined age is under 130yrs, there will be no advantage.

A ladies’ doubles pair whose combined age meets or exceeds 130yrs will have an 8 point advantage against a men’s doubles pair whose combined age is under 130yrs.
