With satisfactory participation, customized State Championship Jackets will be awarded to the 1st place winners of the main event OD, and also to those winning OS, SS, SD, RS, RD, and to the female of Open Mixed Doubles. Five dollars per participant of the entry fee to these events could be held back to go towards the cost of the jackets. Winners are eligible for only one jacket representing all championship titles earned during the weekend of events.

Entry fee payback cash is awarded to the top-finishing rookie & semi pro teams in open doubles: $40 top-rookie cash & $60 top-semi pro cash.
