RATINGS

This tournament will use DUPR to ensure everyone is in the correct event. The tournament director reserves the right to review all players and move anyone if it's deemed that a player is in the wrong event. All scores will be entered into DUPR. We will allow a +.100 allowance to every bracket. Ex. Men's Doubles 3.0 will allow up to 3.599 DUPR Rating.

***self-entered matches will be manually reversed when calculating for a teams DUPR, this is done to prevent people from dropping their DUPR score to be eligible for an event***

***the DUPR used when registering will be the DUPR used to ensure players in appropriate brackets***
