DUPR RULES
ALL PLAYERS MUST have a DUPR account to play, if you do not have a DUPR account then you can sign up here: https://mydupr.com/signup
You do not need an exact rating to enter the tournament. Players with a rating of N/A may enter any bracket they deem appropriate.

However, those with ratings will be asked to enter the appropriate bracket to avoid sandbagging. In other words, higher level players may not enter lower level brackets. But, lower level players may enter higher level brackets if they feel it is appropriate for them to do so. Registrations are being monitored and all player DUPR ratings will be verified at THE TIME OF REGISTRATION. If your DUPR goes up between registration and the event, that is acceptable.

If you have multiple accounts, we will use the highest to confirm or deny registration. DUPR score is based on the combined AVERAGE of the team

Bracket start times, divisions, number of total games played, and total length of play are subject to change and will be determined after the final registration deadline. That said, we will NOT merge brackets without your consent. We will let you know a few days in advance about the final schedule.

Waiver: By registering for this event, you are agreeing to the waiver conditions attached. If you are a minor, we need a guardian’s signature before entry.
