REGISTRATION DETAILS
For Doubles, registration is not complete until BOTH partners have registered, agreed to the tournament waiver, and paid all fees owing. Registration is limited in each event.
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 **
Doubles:
No individual player may exceed 0.09 DUPR above the bracket cap.
The combined DUPR of both players may not exceed twice the bracket cap.
Singles:
Any player with a DUPR rating more than 0.09 above the bracket limit will be moved to the next higher bracket or removed from the division.
Examples
If your DUPR rating is 3.58, you may play in the 3.5 & Below bracket.
If your DUPR rating is 3.6, you must register for the 4.5 & Below bracket.
If both you and your partner have a DUPR rating of greater than 3.5, you may not play in the 3.5 & Below bracket (combined rating exceeds the cap).
If your DUPR rating is 3.55 and your partner’s rating is 3.45, then you may play in the 3.5 & Below bracket, as the combined rating is within twice the bracket cap.
