<b>REGISTRATION</b>
To maintain the integrity of the tournament, we have implemented a 0.5 maximum rating difference. This means at least one team member must be within 0.5 of the bracket rating. Teams will be removed if they do not meet the requirement.
<b>REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT</b>
Each player is responsible for completing their own registration and payment. To remain in the main draw after completing payment, both players on a team must be fully registered and paid within 3 days. Teams that are not fully registered and paid within this timeframe will be moved to the waitlist.
<b>FINDING A PARTNER</b>
Please view the player list and contact directly.
<b>DUPR Ratings</b>
At least one partner must have a 4.5 DUPR or higher. Please email us if you have any questions.
Your current DUPR rating determines the skill level in which you are able to register.
For example, if you have a 3.5 DUPR, you can register for 3.5 and above; you are not eligible to register for 3.0.
The system will automatically use your self-rating from PickleballBrackets.com if a DUPR rating does not exist.
<b>SCORING AND MATCH FORMAT</b>
Match formats and scoring are subject to change based on registration numbers and tournament needs.
