Example:
POD 1: Teams 1–16
POD 2: Teams 17–25
POD 3: Teams 26–39
POD play consists of:
Round Robin play, followed by Bracket play.
One POD winner will be crowned from each POD.
Each team is guaranteed a minimum of 3 matches (6 games per person), with additional games for teams advancing into bracket play.

Add all three DUPR ratings together to determine your division

3.5 + 3.75 + 4.25 = 11.5 → Register for DUPR 12 - Don't try to fit into a specific division, because PODs will be created using above format. Grab 2 friends and create a team!!
