All players must have accounts with Pickleball Brackets. This is free at www.pickleballbrackets.com. Sign up is based first on your pickleball brackets tournament rating or, if you don't have a Pickleball Brackets rating, based on your self rating. For those who have a DUPR rating, but no Pickleball Brackets rating we suggest you may self rate no more than .250 below the DUPR Rating. For example, if your DUPR is 3.749 or less you could self rate as 3.499 (or 3.0 for Pickleball Brackets) but if your DUPR is 3.750 or greater up to 4.249 you could self rate yourself at 3.500 (3.5 for Pickleball Brackets). This is a guideline only.
