Event Policies

This event is held on the Newport Harbor High School campus, so typical school rules apply. No dogs on campus. Restrooms are located in the boy’s and girl’s locker rooms. The campus is shared with other students, so other activities may be in progress while we are having match play. The goal of the event is to provide an opportunity for more kids to get experience with Verified Match Play and establish their UTR score.
