You're not just getting one shot at glory – oh no! You'll be diving into all three disciplines: singles, doubles, and trios!

When you arrive from 8am (there is a coffee machine available) players can look forward to their first discipline - singles (each person for themselves).
This is the perfect chance to warm up for doubles, which is scheduled to commence from 10.30am.
There is be a break for all players to attend the arts and culture activities at the nearby Trusts Arena from 12 noon -2 pm.
Upon your 2pm return, the fabulous trios will begin and a medal ceremony ending celebrations around 5pm.
