RATINGS
We use DUPR to ensure fair competition. The tournament director reserves the right to move any player(s) who are in the wrong brackets. All scores will be submitted to DUPR.
For this tourney we use COMBINED DUPR DIVISIONS.
Doubles divisions are based on the combined DUPR rating of both partners.
* Combined DUPR 7: Team total 6.01–7.09 (each player 2.80–3.79)
* Combined DUPR 8: Team total 7.01–8.09 (each player 3.30–4.29)
* Combined DUPR 9: Team total 8.01–9.09 (each player 3.80-4.79)
* Combined DUPR 10: Team total 9.01–10.09 (each player 4.30-5.29)
For example, in Combined DUPR 8:
* 4.20 + 3.60 = 7.80 ✅
* 4.20 + 3.80 = 8.00 ✅
* 4.70 + 3.30 = 8.00 ❌ because the 4.70 player exceeds the individual cap
Both players must also meet the individual DUPR limits listed for the bracket.
Players must register in the correct division. The Tournament Director may move teams based on DUPR ratings or combine brackets if needed.
Players are not allowed to play DOWN. No exceptions.
Important Notes on DUPR
- Self-entered DUPR matches will be manually accounted for to prevent DUPR manipulation.
- If a player's DUPR score accuracy is below 60%, placement into the appropriate bracket will be at the tournament director's discretion.
- The DUPR score at registration will determine the bracket a player is eligible to play in.
- The DUPR score of a player at the time of registration is taken into account for bracket registration (ie. If a player has a DUPR score of 3.32 at the time of registration, they may register for a DUPR 8 event. Upon event day, if their score has increased/decreased, we honor the rating at the time of registration).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please note that if you are playing in a doubles event and your partner does not register within 7 days of when you register, you will automatically be moved to the waitlist. Your spot in the main event will NOT be saved. If (after you are both registered and paid for the event) there is room in the main event, you will be moved back to the main event. If the event has filled up in the meantime, you will remain on the waitlist until a spot opens up.
