The National Championship has event specific DUPR aggregate rules.
Refer to the FAQ for expanded explanations: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pNdrpsIU9UT4P54WDlPjYmwdQq9ZeroRXtVsrTA76EI/edit?usp=sharing
DUPR 12: Maximum team aggregate is 12.900.
*Maximum individual player rating is 3.600 at registration.
DUPR 14 and 14 50+: Maximum team aggregate is 14.900.
*Maximum individual player rating is 4.100 at registration.
DUPR 16 and 16 50+: Maximum team aggregate is 16.900.
*Maximum individual player rating is 4.600 at registration.

DUPR 20: Maximum team aggregate is 20.900.
DUPR 22: Minimum aggregate is 20.300, maximum team aggregate of 22.999.
DUPR 22 Special Rules: Team aggregate minimum for DUPR 22 is 20.300. DUPR 22 is an open division, therefore, there are NO pre-qualifications rules. Any team with a 20.300 or higher aggregate can play DUPR 22.
Please note: to play in DUPR 12, 14 and 14 50+, 16 and 16 50+, 18 and 20 divisions, the team must meet all pre-qualifications rules.
The division aggregate maximum ending in .900 only applies for Nationals. The regular aggregate maximum ending in .300 will stay in effect for all other The Dink Minor League Pickleball events.
Once a team registers for a Minor League Pickleball event, their ratings are “locked” and their DUPR increasing or decreasing will not impact the team’s aggregate or division placement.
Substitute Players
A team that needs a player substitute can either edit their team by signing into Swish and making the edits themselves or a player may submit the player substitute information directly to the tournament organizer. Substitute player’s DUPR may not cause the established team’s aggregate to go over max event’s aggregate.
