      <title>KTPA King of the Courts (6 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;REGISTRATION OPEN: May 15 - June 1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;Hosts are Mary Fonke-Harris and Pat Harris.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;A fast-paced, rotational based game designed for social play.&amp;nbsp; Winners advance to higher numbered court and switch partners on the “winning” court and “runner-ups” move down a court and switch partners.&amp;nbsp; Beginning court assignments are based on the playing card that you pick at sign-in (4 through King).&amp;nbsp; For example, if you draw a King, you will start on court 18.&amp;nbsp; If you draw a 4, you will start on court 9.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;We will play 11 games with a time limit of 10 minutes or&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 21px;"&gt;a maximum of &lt;em&gt;11 points.&amp;nbsp; The 12th and final game will determine the King of the Court and that game will be played to 11.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 21px; font-weight: 700; font-style: italic;"&gt;If you register to play and can't fulfill that commitment, it will be your responsibility to find a replacement.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
