KTPA King of the Courts (6 Jun 2026)

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 14:00:00 GMT

REGISTRATION OPEN: May 15 - June 1.

Hosts are Mary Fonke-Harris and Pat Harris.

A fast-paced, rotational based game designed for social play. Winners advance to higher numbered court and switch partners on the “winning” court and “runner-ups” move down a court and switch partners. Beginning court assignments are based on the playing card that you pick at sign-in (4 through King). For example, if you draw a King, you will start on court 18. If you draw a 4, you will start on court 9.

We will play 11 games with a time limit of 10 minutes or a maximum of 11 points. The 12th and final game will determine the King of the Court and that game will be played to 11.

If you register to play and can't fulfill that commitment, it will be your responsibility to find a replacement.
