Rules

1. Divisions are DUPR ratings
- your team’s DUPR rating average will be calculated. If your average is higher than the division, you will be placed in the appropriate division.
- If you have never played in a DUPR rated event or do not have a rating, you can self rate yourself and enter the division(s) you see best fit you!
- If your team's average is above 4.0 you will need to enter an "Open" division (e.g. Open Mens Doubles for Prizemoney)
- Any division that does not specify age is open to all ages
- Any "Open" division is open to all ratings
2. For age-related divisions, the participant must fall within the division age by Dec. 31st, 2024
3. The ball used is a Franklin X40 Yellow ball. Please DO NOT wear yellow clothing similar to the color of the ball

- 1 minute break is allotted when switching ends
- Each team is allotted one 1-minute time out per match if they choose to take it
6. Inputting Scores
- The players will input their match scores into Swish. Only one person needs to enter the score.
