Topic: No pre-registration required
In fact, we don't normally do pre-registration for a Nationals, but you should be able to contact USAA President Michael Rosen if you would like to do that.

Topic: A few questions
1. Does the tournament have a registration fee?
2. Where do you go to register? When does this need to be done by?
3. Any prizes? (Cash, Ribbon, Trophy)

The entry fee for beginners is usually around $25-$30. There is no pre registration, registration will open on Friday March 13 and they usually start collecting money during doubles that night. You can register up until about a few hours before singles starts on Saturday. Prizes depend on the number of entries and cash is usually paid out to the top 16 places. Trophies typically go out to the top 16 as well as the top 3 finishers in each division.

Topic: More Questions
Where do you register?
Do you know between what hours someone is able to go and register?
What are doubles?
Do any matches take place on Friday?
Do you pick who you are going to play or is it just random and by class?

Topic: TIme for completion of tournament?
Is there an estimated time for the completion of the tournament?

Topic: Time Frame
The more matches you win the longer you play! singles starts on Saturday morning and finals is typically around 5 PM on Sunday I would say.

Myself (Nick Harbacek, IL) and Mike Yarbrough (IL) are going to be there 100% Very excited to be attending our first national/world tournament. Also looking forward to flexing a years worth of training against players we don't get a chance to play all that often. Texas players especially, keep an eye out for us
