DUPR Flex Pickleball League Season II

DUPR Flex League Rules and Regulations
General Information
1. Commitment: If you sign up for a DUPR Flex League, we ask that you commit to playing all your matches. Following through on your commitment to your local Pickleball Flex League will create a fun and rewarding experience for you and your fellow players.
2. Cost: The DUPR Doubles Flex league cost is up to the city manager's discretion.
3. Scoring format & First Server: All matches must be best 2 out of 3 games with each game played to 15 points, win by 2 points. If you would like to play another format that is allowed. Both players need to agree or you will have to use the default scoring format.
Any fair method can be used to determine which player or team has first choice of side, service, or receive. (Example: Write a 1 or 2 on the back of the score sheet.) Then, the team which did NOT serve first in the first game, will serve first in the second game. Change sides after each game.
IMPORTANT: IF you enter in a wrong score or have issues with entering the scores please reach out to your Flex League Manager.
4. Player Divisions/Matchups: Each player will be placed into a 5 team round-robin player group and assigned 4 matches over the course of the 5-week league session.
Note: Divisions will be based on DUPR rating and approximate location.
IMPORTANT: If you are an unrated player, please read the “Determining your DUPR Rating” information at the bottom of this page.
5. Guaranteed Matches: All players will be given 4 matches in 5 weeks (one per week) unless a player withdraws from the league, is unresponsive, or there is a limited number of players registered at your level (DUPR rating).
6. Reporting Match Score: When your match is complete, the winning player must post the score. Here is a video on: How To Post A Score
7. Match Scores/Protest Form: You can formally submit a match protest here. This should be a last resort between you and your opponent. Three match protests against a player may result in a ban from participation in future DUPR Flex Leagues.
8. Withdrawal from a League: Players must provide valid reasoning for withdrawal. If a player withdraws from two DUPR Flex Leagues, they may be banned from playing in any DUPR Flex Leagues for one year. No refunds will be given unless we cannot find a league that fits your level.
9. Finding your Match Schedule: League schedules can be found within the Flex League Event page. Click your bracket, then Round 1 = Week 1, Round 2 = Week 2, etc.
10. Standings: League standings can be found by selecting the “Standings” tab where your matchups are shown on the event page and these standings will be posted once the league has been completed.
11. Prizes: All Division winners will be granted prizes in accordance to the waterfall pathway. To receive credit you must complete at least three matches. If one player is undefeated, and another has one loss but has completed more matches, the prize will go to the player who completed more matches. Any match results not submitted within one week after the league end date may not count toward the final league Standings.
Scheduling Rules
1. Scheduling Match Times and Locations: Players are responsible for scheduling their own match times with their opponent at a mutually agreed-upon court location. To allow players the most flexibility when scheduling their matches, we do not specify home vs. away courts.
Pro Tip: To equalize travel times between players, try to meet in a neutral location.
Balls: Both players should bring balls just in case.
2. Contact information: Contact information is below each players name on the designated bracket.
IMPORTANT: You must have accurate phone, email, and home club information in your profile before the league begins.

[6:51 a. m., 27/10/2023] Henry Lopez: DUPR is free and anyone can have a rating. One match result is all it takes to have a DUPR rating, and 5-10 match results is all it takes to have an even more accurate rating. If you’ve ever played in a Pickleball tournament you most likely already have a DUPR rating and can claim your account at mydupr.com/players or by downloading the iOS or Android app.
In addition to being more accurate, DUPR is the only global rating system in Pickleball that encompasses all of a player’s results and rates all players on the same universal scale regardless of age or gender.
