PAYMENT/PARTNER POLICY

Players must be paid and have a registered and paid partner to be confirmed. Players not paid and without registered and paid partners will be moved to a wait list if the division in which a spot is being held is filled with fully registered and paid teams.

PARTNER REPLACEMENT POLICY

After registration is closed, any registered player losing a partner must replace that partner with an already registered player. The replacement partner must be in the same skill/age group that you are scheduled to play. Players can play down in age and up in skill. Replacements need to be known and communicated to the registration contact by 6pm the day before you are scheduled to play. Replacements can be found on the players needing partners list.

DUPR RATINGS

The PPA and DUPR have teamed up to help players and tournaments offer the most competitive events possible. All players' DUPR ratings will be verified after registration closes for the tournament. Those players found to be playing below their listed DUPR rating for the tournament WILL be moved into the appropriate skill level event. Please be aware and take action before registration closes to avoid this by verifying your DUPR rating and making sure you are playing in the correct event.
