Additional Information

1) Skill Eligibility

For ALL doubles events, both players must individually fall within the DUPR rating range of the division they register for. Teams may play up into a higher division, but may not play down into a lower division. Tournament organizers reserve the right to verify DUPR ratings and adjust division placement if necessary.

Players may play up, but may not play down.

Examples:

A 3.5-rated player may enter a 4.0+ division.

A 4.0-rated player may NOT enter a 3.5 division.

A 3.0-rated player may enter a 3.5 division if desired.
