Rules & Officiating

The tournament director reserves the right to interpret or modify rules, formats, or scheduling as needed.

Concerns regarding paddles should be reported to the tournament desk. Due to the amateur nature of the event, players may be given the opportunity to switch paddles or forfeit a match rather than receiving an automatic forfeit for a non-approved paddle.

Scores will be submitted to DUPR for applicable divisions after results are posted. During the tournament, questions or issues should be brought to tournament staff.
