***Very Important – Ratings (NO DUPR scores reported/DUPR NOT required):

• Even though DUPR is the only rating listed for public view, we are using DUPR only as a guideline. All rating systems have their pros and cons. Players will self-rate and we will also be using your previous tournament history as our determinant

• If you feel that a player is playing out of their skill, please contact the tournament director. We will then evaluate tournament history and various ratings (including DUPR) to determine if a team needs to play at a different skill. Please be aware that this is a manual process and does not happen automatically
