Tournament Policy on DUPR Ratings for Divisions:
1. DUPR Rating Requirement:
- Teams must ensure that their individual DUPR rating falls within the skill level range of the division they are competing in.
- For instance, if player 1 holds a DUPR rating of 2.6 and player 2's rating is 3.7, this team is eligible to compete in divisions rated 3.5 or higher.
- In cases where a player possesses a provisional rating (denoted with an "*"), the tournament organizers will scrutinize the games played and liaise with the team if they are deemed to be in the incorrect division.
2. Rating Guidelines for Teams:
-Only Doubles ratings will be considered as the tournament is doubles format only.
- Teams consisting of players without a rating are encouraged to sign up for the division they believe best suits their skill level.
- For any queries or clarifications, teams are advised to contact the tournament directors via email.
- If one player lacks a rating while the other possesses one, the team's rating will be determined based on the player with a rating.
3. Division Skill Level Ranges:
- Division 2.5 (Skill Levels 1.0 - 2.99)
- Division 3.0 (Skill levels 1.0-3.49)
- Division 3.5 (Skill levels 1.0-3.99)
- Divisions 4.0 (Skill levels 1.0-4.49)

- Division 5.0 (Skill levels 1.0-5.49)

Payment and Partner Policy:
To secure confirmation, players are required to complete their payment and have both a registered and paid partner. In the absence of payment or a registered/paid partner, players may be moved to a wait list if the division for which a spot is being held becomes fully subscribed by fully registered and paid teams.
Partner Replacement Guidelines:
Following the closure of registration, players who find themselves without a partner have the option to replace their original partner with either a registered or non-registered player. The replacement partner must belong to the same skill and age group in which you are scheduled to compete. Players are permitted to play in a lower age category or a higher skill level. Any partner replacements must be identified and communicated to the registration contact no later than 6:00 PM on the day prior to your scheduled play. Please consult the list of players seeking partners to find suitable replacements.
