We will be using DUPR ratings and submitting results to DUPR. We will check DUPR ratings on 2/15 and move you to a higher skill level if your rating is higher than when you registered. If your DUPR drops and you want to move to a lower skill bracket you must do that before 2/15. If you think your DUPR is incorrect you must appeal to DUPR at support@mydupr.com and have it changed by 2/15. NOTE: there are limits on bracket size which might hinder changes you request.
