Rules
DUPR Rules:
The tournament will be organized and managed using the Swish Tournaments app and all games (except Teens) will be recorded in DUPR. All players MUST have a DUPR account to play. If you do not have a DUPR account then you can sign up here: dashboard.dupr.com/signup
You do not need an exact rating to enter the tournament. Players with a rating of NR may enter any bracket they deem appropriate, however, if you are new to the game, we highly suggest that you sign up for the beginner level divisions. 

Those with ratings, however, will be asked to enter the appropriate bracket to avoid sandbagging. In other words, higher level players may not enter lower level brackets. But, lower level players may enter higher level brackets if they feel it is appropriate for them to do so.
Registrations are being monitored and all player DUPR ratings will be verified at THE TIME OF REGISTRATION. If your DUPR goes up between registration and the event, that is acceptable.

If you have multiple accounts, we will use the highest to confirm or deny registration.
DUPR scores are based on the team average:
4.5 and under: Combined DUPR must not exceed 9
4.0 and under: Combined DUPR must not exceed 8
3.5 and under: Combined DUPR must not exceed 7
3.0 and under: Combined DUPR must not exceed 6
Game Rules:
Games will be played on 14 dedicated outdoor pickleball courts. Game balls used TBD (pending ball sponsorship) or Franklin X balls.
Pool Play:
1. Each pool play game is to 11 points, win by 1.
2. 4-5 game minimum in each pool.
Playoffs:
1. Playoff seeds will be determined by the number of wins/losses, then points scored/ points against, then head to head record-through the round robin.
2. The top 4 teams from round robin/pool play will enter the playoff. If a division is split into two pools per bracket, then it will be the top 2 teams of each pool going to the final 4 playoff.
