Welcome to the Pearl Invitational!

This is an internal tournament designed to have students compete in various events. As such, any event THAT IS NOT SPAR will only have ONE ROUND, and will be scheduled in different blocks of time.

The tournament will be conducted online via Zoom. Please review our Zoom Guidelines/Tournament Rules. We will use tabroom.com as the official tournament management and registration.

Tournament LiveDoc: Topics and other information will be released here.
