Players eligible to play in a lower section can choose to play on a team in any higher section, and would then only be eligible for the trophies in that higher section. Players in a higher grade cannot play down into a lower section. Each individual on a team must be playing in the same section. Please bring sets, boards, and clocks (if available).
