FORMATS:
Classifications will compete in a round robin format followed by a semifinal bracket, and medal round. After registrations are finalized, more detailed format and start times will be posted. Tournament management reserves the option to combine formats and/or brackets as registration dictates. Possible formats used are semi final brackets, round robins, and pool play.
A team must play at the skill level of the higher rated player (or higher) and the age group of the younger player. Age is calculated as of 12/31/2026.
You may register and identify your partner or request "Need partner". Your partner must register within five days of your registration or the team will be moved to the wait list. When the identified partner registers after the five day grace period, the team will automatically move from the wait list back to the active list if there is a slot available and both teams have paid.
If a player needs a partner, the team will automatically move from the wait list to the active list once a partner is identified, registered, and both players have paid if there is an available slot to move to.
NOTE: Your spot in the tournament is not guaranteed until your partner has registered and all fees have been paid in full.
There are no referees. Matches are self-monitored.
REGISTRATION DETAILS
If you do not have one, please create a FREE DUPR ID prior to registering. It takes less than 5 minutes at https://dashboard.dupr.com/signup All matches will be reported to DUPR.
Registration is not complete until BOTH partners have registered, agreed to the tournament waiver, and paid all fees due.
Singles brackets and Moneyball, if applicable on this tournament, have additional fees to cover court usage and prize money.
Competition courts will only be available for warm up 20-min prior to the start of the events each day. After the tournament has started, warm ups are restricted to the narrow warm-up court near the Front Desk. This helps us stay on schedule. Plan to arrive at the venue 30 minutes prior to the start of your event to allow time for check-in, warm-up and to prepare for your first match.
** DUPR Rating Policy for Bracket Placement **
Singles Competition: Any player with a DUPR rating more than 0.10 above the bracket limit will be moved to the next higher bracket.
For example:
If your rating is 4.05, you may play in the 3.5–4.0 bracket.
If your rating is 4.10, you must register for the 4.0–4.5 bracket.
Doubles Competition: The combined DUPR of both players cannot be more than double the bracket’s upper limit. No individual player may have a DUPR more than 0.20 above the bracket’s upper limit: even if the team total is within range.
For Example in a 3.5 - 4.0 bracket, the team’s total DUPR can’t exceed 8.0.
A player rated 4.18 can only partner with someone 3.82 or lower.
A player rated 4.21 cannot play in this bracket at all, regardless of their partner's rating.
Moneyball Competition: Your DUPR rating MUST be 4.75 or lower. No individual player may exceed a 4.75 DUPR and Combined DUPR of both players may not exceed 9.5.
