**IMPORTANT – Ratings
* Even though DUPR is the only rating listed for public view, we are only using DUPR when there is a significant discrepancy. If players have a USSP rating then that is what is used. If players do not have a USSP rating then the self-rating is used.
* Please update your self-rating in your software profile before you register. You may only play up 1 from your rating.
* Scores are reported to DUPR
*. If you feel that a player is playing out of their skill, please contact the tournament director. We will then evaluate available data to determine if a player/team needs to play at a different skill. Please be aware that this is a manual process and does not happen automatically.
