DUPR: DUPR rating will be required during signup for any division. No exceptions. All players must play in the correct division according to their DUPR. All scores will be recorded. DUPR will be checked at signup time and teams will be moved into the correct divisions.
Both partner's DUPR ratings will be used to calculate a team DUPR rating. That rating must fall within the division specified limits. The team DUPR score is calculated using a weighted average: 70% of the highest rated player and 30% of the lowest rated player. Below is an example:
Player A is a 4.1 and Player B is a 3.6. If you take 70% of Player A's rating and 30% of Player B's rating, you will get an average of 3.95. Therefore, this team will sign up for the 3.5-4.0 division.
Here is the formula: (Player A x .7) + (Player B x .3)
Unrated players may be allowed to play in divisions based on the tournament directors discretion. A DUPR account will still be required so scores can be recorded.
Players are required to use a paddle approved by either UPA or USAP. If a paddle is not approved by either UPA or USAP, then the player will need to change paddles to an approved one.
Prizes will be given to 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Important: After registering, teams have 7 days to register their partner. Teams that miss this deadline will be moved to the waitlist.
ESTIMATED division start times are listed but are subject to change based on how the brackets fill. Official start times will be provided 1 day before the tournament. In general, the estimated start times are within the general range (a few hours) of when your division will start.
In the interest of maintaining the tournament schedule, the Pickleball Director reserves the right to adjust scoring rules as needed. However, any adjustments will be announced and applied consistently across all matches.
