No Partner?
We can pair you up with someone if you would like to play, but don’t have a partner. However, you must give TMYC 3 weeks’ notice beforehand, and there’s no guarantee that you will get a partner, but we will try our best!
Please indicate that you need a partner on the application AND in the subject line of the email.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerts, please email
[email protected]
Hope to see you there!!!
