Competition begins Thursday with a qualifying tournament. Friday, Saturday and Sunday will feature a round-robin competition between the top 12 men and top 12 women in the United States as they vie to represent their country at the North America 2012 Olympic Games Qualifying Tournament, also to be held in Cary, in April.
