<strong>Partner Info & Sign-ups!</strong>
*<strong>Early sign-ups make a HUGE difference!!!</strong> Early sign-ups fill brackets faster, create buzz, and help avoid merging divisions ('cause NO one likes that!). Sign up early and help everyone win.
*During registration, you can indicate that you need a partner. Other registrants can search for players in need of a partner.
*It is your responsibility to find a partner, however, contact the tournament if you need help with this.
*Registration is set up for under and over 55. We will split divisions into smaller age groups as teams sign up. Age groups will be split when there are at least 5 teams per bracket.
*Players may play down in age and up in skill. Players may not play up in age or down in skill.
<strong>DUPR Reporting and Verification </strong>
*All divisions <strong>EXCEPT the JUST FOR FUN</strong> will be DUPR reported
* DUPRs and self-ratings will be reviewed once registration closes
* Players within 0.1 of the next skill level are strongly encouraged to play up
* Players with a DUPR reliability score of 60+ whose rating exceeds their registered division by more than 0.1 <strong>will be moved up, regardless of partner rating</strong>
(Example: A team registered as 3.5 with one player rated 4.18 and a reliability score of 72 will be moved to 4.0.)
