Good news everyone: you’ve got more choices in the events you can play in the Cal State Championships! We’ve also lowered the entry fees while keeping the payouts the same. The biggest win is that we’ve simplified the sign-up process. We firmly believe that minimizing conflicts is critical to providing a good player experience, so you’ll still need to pick and choose… but now the choice is yours. Here’s how it works:
- The schedule is divided into blocks. Players can enter at most one event per block.
- Pricing is fixed per event: $20 for Beginner, $30 for Rookie, $35 for Amateur, $40 for Expert, $50 for Pro, and $60 for Open events. Open Mixed is $20, and Senior Doubles is $15.
- Lower ranked players are welcome to play in higher ranked events, but will need to pay the full entry fee for those events.
- Table fees for beginners are $15 per event, up to $30 for the whole weekend.
- Table fees for everyone else are $15 per event, up to $45 for the whole weekend.
The sign-up website and announcement flyer will be updated soon. If you’ve already paid and are due a refund, stand by, we’re working on it.
