Format:

Pool Play- All teams in their pool play each other.

1. One game is played against each team in your pool to 11 points (No winning by 2, first to 11 points)

Playoff

1. Playoff seeds will be determined by the number of wins, then points scored, then points against through the round robin, and if needed, the team that signed up first.

2. The top 4 teams from round robin play will enter the playoff. If a division is split into two pools per bracket, then it will be the top 2 teams of each pool going to the final 4 playoff.

3. Teams 1 and 4 play each other, while teams 2 and 3 play. Winners play for gold/silver and losers play for bronze. Tournament games are single elimination, one game to 11, win by 2.

ALL PLAYERS MUST have a DUPR account to play, if you do not have a DUPR account then you can sign up here: https://mydupr.com/signup

You do not need an exact rating to enter the tournament, but it is encouranged. Players with a rating of N/A may enter any bracket they deem appropriate. But if you have an account and you are not yet rated, you may participate in one of our “Get Rated” days before the tournament. Contact us for details.

However, those with ratings will be asked to enter the appropriate bracket to avoid sandbagging. In other words, higher level players may not enter lower level brackets. But, lower level players may enter higher level brackets if they feel it is appropriate for them to do so. Registrations are being monitored and all player DUPR ratings will be verified.

Bracket start times, number of total games played, and total length of play will be determined after the final registration deadline. We will let you know a few days in advance about the final schedule.

All games will be logged to DUPR!

Refund Policy: There will be a $10 cancelation fee for all refunds.

No refunds will be made after 3/18 for any reason.

We are dedicated to providing a safe and fun sporting environment.

All participants should keep this in mind when becoming involved. Although the games may become intense, you still can be competitive while maintaining good sportsmanship. Any behavior deemed unacceptable by the staff may result in suspension and/or ejection from a match or the tournament.

Abuse of officials, referees, opposing players and other staff will not be tolerated. Fighting will be an automatic withdrawal from the tournament and grounds for removal from the facility. Any behavior deemed unacceptable by staff may result in a withdrawal match and/or tournament.

● If a player touches another player physically, inappropriately or with intent to harm, despite who may be "right or wrong", they will be immediately withdrawn from the tournament.

● On their second offense, they will be banned.

***Remember, this is fun competition. Anyone exuding rudeness or ignorance will be withdrawn from their match and maybe also be removed from the tournament as these actions eliminate fun for everyone else.

ABSOLUTELY NO GLASS ALLOWED. Drinks must either be in cups, plastic bottles, or in koozies.

Directors withhold the right to merge brackets as needed to obtain the minimum number of players needed to form an appropriate pool. Directors will do they best they can to stay within similar age and skill levels.
