members. Registration for these tournaments opens 10 to 20 minutes before the
tournament starts. Follow the steps below to play in an online tournament. |

If the selected tournament is not random partners, you may enter the name of your partner in
the box on the right. If it is a random tournament, a partner will be assigned to you at the
