NL Closed Is In The Books

We have made it through the NLTTA sanctioned tournaments. We started in October in Trout River on the west coast and concluded on the east coast with the NL Closed in Paradise.

The recent NL Closed exceeded 60 athletes competing in 13 events which made for a full action packed day of competition. Complete results of the tournament can be found on the NL Closed results page. Pictured below are some of the participants claiming their hardware from the 2025 NL Closed. Photos are courtesy of Jiaqi Mu.
