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.
To sign up for any Minor League event, a DUPR account is required at the time of registration. Not rated players can play; however, their estimated rating will be verified by the tournament director.

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.

Who can play at the National Championship?
Dream Ticket earners and:
*The top players in the 2025 National Leaderboard will receive an invitation to assemble their teams.
*Players who play in any Official Minor League Pickleball event during the 2025 season are eligible to compete at Nationals for a team that earns an invitation.
*All MiLP National Championship players must comply with the Minor League Pickleball Registration & Fair Play Policy

By registering for a Minor League Pickleball (MiLP) event, players agree to follow the DUPR Community Guidelines and the following rules:

Duplicate Accounts: Players must check for and report duplicate DUPR accounts before registering.
If a duplicate is created after registration (e.g., via an API partner), it must be reported and will be merged without penalty.
Failure to report an existing duplicate may lead to team disqualification if it was done to manipulate ratings.

Fair Play Violations:
Cheating, tanking, game-fixing, and data manipulation (including multiple accounts) are strictly prohibited.
Violations may lead to disqualification, forfeiture of prizes, and account restrictions.
The DUPR Fair Play Committee and Tournament Director reserve the right to take further action as needed.

As a next step to continue transparency and verifying each competitor’s account, all players will be required to have an active DUPR+ account to play.
