The tournament enters teams. A free agent is a player without a full roster who waits for a captain in the same age division to take the last spot or two. The organizer makes the introduction. The captain decides.
| Register a team | Sign up as a free agent | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay the event | $500 for the team. No separate player fee. Three teams are $1,300 on the 35-49 and 50-54 pages. | Nothing to the event until a captain adds you. Most captains ask for a share of the $500. At 8 players that is $62.50. Some captains cover it. That deal is between you and the captain. |
| Who owns the roster | The captain. You pick the names, the hotel plan, and the division. | The captain who calls you. You can say no. You do not pick the other eight guys. |
| Who it fits | A group that can put 8 to 10 players on the floor in one age band. | A player with a clear position and no team. Name the spot you actually play. |
| The risk | The division caps at 8 teams. Late entries miss it. Returning teams get priority. | A match is not guaranteed. Captains usually fill the last spots 30–60 days out. If you are still open a week out, contact the tournament. |

If you are one player short
Register the team, then tell us you need a body. Captains who already have a team are matched with free agents in that division before the list is treated as a pile of individuals. The longer walk-through is how free agents get on a roster.
If you are the player without a team
Put your real age, so you land in 35-49, 50-54, or 55+. Put a position, not “anywhere.” Say whether you can cover your own room and your share of the fee. Captains are filling a gap, not holding a tryout.
