Your DUPR rating will be used to determine which skill level you may play in. If player does not have DUPR rating, player's pickleball brackets rating will be used. If players do not have a DUPR rating or pickleball brackets rating, players self-rating will be used from their pickleball brackets profile. Players are responsible to self-rate at a skill level that is NOT lower than their actual skill level. Players may play in a skill level higher than their rating. Players may not play in a skill level that is lower than their rating.

Start times will not be announced until registration closes. We do this because the number of signups for each event will determine when we can start each bracket. We need to know the final number of entrants for each event in order to determine the most efficient start times to keep the day running as smoothly as possible. Start times will be released one to two days after registration closes and may be subject to change due to any unforeseen circumstances.

Water, snacks and raffles will be available to players.

NOTE - We ask that you start a DUPR account if you do not already have one. We also ask that all players join the LFG Tourneys "club" in your DUPR account. This is not required, but appreciated :)
