DUPR:

DUPR scores will be submitted for all events. Open event will not be DUPR recorded.

TEAM DUPR VERIFICATION PROCESS:

-Higher rated player accounts for 65% of team DUPR

-Lower rated player accounts for 35% of team DUPR

-Example: ((4.234 * .65) = 2.75) + ((4.189 * .35) = 1.4661) = TEAM DUPR = (2.75+1.46) = 4.21

This team would sign up for the 4.0-4.5 division.

-The higher-rated player on the team cannot be more than 0.1 rating points above the top of the division's rating range.

-DUPR Reliability: If the Players DUPR Reliability Score is below 60, that rating is considered by DUPR to be unreliable - based on director's decision that team will be moved.

-Teams whose weighted rating lands above or below will be moved based on directors' decision.

-Unrated players may be allowed to play in divisions based on the tournament director's discretion. A DUPR account will still be required so scores can be recorded.

Prizes:

- Prizes donated by our sponsors are given to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners of all divisions.

- Cash prizes for open events up to 1st - $1000 / 2nd - $500 / 3rd - $100 dependent on bracket size. 8 teams needed for full payout.
