Tournament Eligibility Rules – DUPR Hard Caps

To ensure fair and balanced competition, all divisions in this tournament will follow strict DUPR hard-cap eligibility limits.

**Combined DUPR Hard Caps (All Divisions)**

2.5 Division → Max Combined DUPR: 5.0
3.0 Division → Max Combined DUPR: 6.0
3.5 Division → Max Combined DUPR: 7.0
4.0 Division → Max Combined DUPR: 8.0
4.5 Division → Max Combined DUPR: 9.0

Teams may not exceed the combined cap at the time of registration, using each player’s current DUPR.

**Individual Player Cap (2.5 & 3.0 Only)**

To prevent excessive skill imbalance within lower divisions:
In the 2.5 division, no player may have a DUPR higher than 2.7
In the 3.0 division, no player may have a DUPR higher than 3.2

If a player exceeds the individual cap, the team must register for the next division up.

**Enforcement**
DUPR values will be verified at registration and may be rechecked prior to tournament play.
Any team found to exceed either the combined cap or the individual cap (where applicable) will be moved to the appropriate division or disqualified at the tournament director’s discretion.
