Benefits of playing tap

The handicapped format, which puts “fair” at the heart of its model, allows teams of all skill levels to come together and participate in a fun, yet competitive, night out for all involved. An array of divisions and choice of desired games offer play opportunities on most every day of the week (and more divisions and teams are being added each new session). Sessions span the entire calendar year and are broken into three 16-week sessions (Fall, Spring and Summer) depending on each areas qualifying needs each spaced with a two-week break that allows for the scheduling of playoff series and other associated tournaments that your participation can make you eligible for (individual or team).

Scoring is easy state-of-the-art electronic stat-keeping all done on your device (tablet or phone)! It also allows you to grow and follow your progress as both an individual and in terms of your team. Openings are available frequently and an array of division representatives in your locale can help you to get started.

Faster path to national events

The “gem” of TAP events locally, Titleholders provides teams an opportunity to compete with other teams outside their division. Titleholders are offered for a variety of reasons bragging rights, cash, awards and advancement are some. Qualifications and tournament formats are determined by your local TAP owner. By allowing flexibility your TAP owner can create a Titleholders atmosphere that’s successful in your area.

Players play a 16 week session in a division. At the end of the session the teams finishing in 1st in each division will advance to the Titleholders All other teams still have a chance to advance! With our divisional (Best Of The Rest) playoff format at least one more team will advance to the Session Titleholder Championship. Where at least one team will win a Trip to TAP Nationals!

Payouts are determined by the number of teams and the number of weeks in a session. Ask your local TAP owner for the format & prize fund structure for your local Titleholders. TAP is a very flexible national organization and we realize that what works in one part of the USA or Canada might not work in another area so Titleholders and national qualifier formats may vary.
