REGISTRATION DEADLINE April 27, 2026 8 am, MST
All players must have a Pickleball Tournaments account as well as a DUPR account in order to be able to register for this tournament.
In order to receive the Life Time member cost of $45 you must add your Life Time member number to your PickleballBracket account, under associations. This is the same number displayed on the Life Time app that is used to access the Life Time facility.
Each player must register and pay their tournament fee to be an active player entered into the tournament. If you do not register and pay on or before April 27, 2026 8 pm, you will be ineligible to play.
Doubles Events:
○ All division titles denote the average team DUPR required to play in the division. Ex) the 3.5-4.0 division means the average of you and your partner's DUPR rating must be between 3.500 and 4.000. Your rating will be evaluated the week before the tournament to determine eligibility (regardless of DUPR at time of signup).
○ Playing Down (sandbagging): No team will be permitted to play in a division below their current AVERAGE TEAM DUPR rating. TD will be monitoring this periodically and will move you up to the proper division in this situation.
○ Playing Up: Your team can play one division higher than your average team DUPR if one of the following conditions are met:
1) the higher rated player on your team has a rating in the proper range of the division AND the lower rated player is within .5 DUPR rating of the lower-end DUPR threshold. This essentially prevents teams from skipping two whole divisions, which can make pool play unfair and games less competitive.
Ex) Player #1 is 4.1 and player #2 is 3.8, making their AVG team dupr = 3.95. This team can play up to 4.0-4.5 since player 1 is between 4.0 and 4.5 and player 2 is within .500 of 4.0. (this is allowed automatically at checkout)
2) If the teams average team DUPR is within 0.15 of the higher divisions low-end threshold. (not automatic at check-out. Please sign-up in lower division then reach out to TD to be moved up manually)
Ex) Player #1 is 3.85 and player #2 is 3.95. AVG Team DUPR is 3.9. They will be allowed to play in 4.0-4.5 since the avg is within .15 of 4.0, but they will have to reach out to TD to do so.
○ Balanced teams: To promote fairness and restrict higher level players from participating in much lower divisions, teams where a partner is rated 0.750 DUPR points higher than their partner will not be allowed to play together in any division.
Ex) Player #1 is rated 4.750 and Player #2 is rated 3.850. They cannot be partners for any division as their difference in rating exceeds 0.750
○ If you are unrated that is ok! Just make a DUPR account and you will be allowed to play in the 2.5, 3.0, or 3.5-4.0 division for the event you choose, which will be chosen based on the division that corresponds to your partner's rating. If both players on a team are unrated, you may play in the 2.5-3.0, or 3.0-3.5 division of your choosing.
