This tournament will use DUPR to ensure everyone is in the correct event. The tournament director reserves the right to review all players and move anyone if it's deemed that a player is in the wrong event. All scores will be entered into DUPR. We will allow a +.100 allowance to every bracket. Ex. Men's Doubles 3.0 will allow up to 3.599 DUPR Rating.
