DUPR Guidelines:

A DUPR rating is required for entry into any division (excluding Open Level). No exceptions.

All non-Open Level scores will be recorded into DUPR.

Open Level divisions will NOT be recorded into DUPR.

Both partners’ DUPR ratings will determine the team bracket using a weighted average:

(Player A x 0.7) + (Player B x 0.3)

Example: Player A is 4.1, Player B is 3.6 → Team rating = 3.95 → eligible for 3.5–4.0 division

Unrated players may participate pending Tournament Director approval, but must still create a DUPR account for score entry.

Equipment Requirements:

Players must use paddles approved by UPA or USA Pickleball.

Banned paddles starting July 1st, 2025 (not allowed): Joola MOD, Gearbox Power Pro, ProKennex Black Ace
