•Wondering what all the talk about "Singles Qualifiers" is about?  With our Singles Program you can qualify for a free trip to Las Vegas to compete in the National Singles Championships.  When you play on a Singles Board, you're playing independent of your team, so it's the ultimate individual challenge!

•Ask your Division Rep or contact the League Office about our Singles Program.  On page 1 of this newsletter, you can see all of the players who have qualified for the Regional Tournament to be held in Long Island next Spring.  They will be facing Singles Winners from all over New York City and Long Island for a chance to get to Vegas!
