Please register the corresponding level as your DUPR rating. Participants can play above their rating, but not below. If a player has a 3.49 or below rating, the player can join any divisions of 3.0 and above. If a player has a 3.50 or higher rating, the player can only join divisions of 3.5 and above.
Enter as a team. Both partners have to be above 50+ to join 50+ division. If I am 49 and my partner is 51, my partner and I cannot join 50+.

How is the medal placement determined by ?
Top 3 finishers in each division will be awarded with medals, placement will be calculated first by number of total wins, second by number of wins against head to head teams, third by total points, and last by lowest total score allowed in matches won.
Example, if the 1st team has 7 wins, 2nd to 4th teams all have 6 wins, placement will be first determined by total number of wins, since all 3 teams have 6 wins, then will go to head to head wins. If all 3 teams have 1 win and 1 loss against each other, then placement will go to the total points of all their matches. If total points still tied, it will go to the team which has the lowest total score allowed in matches won.
