Divisions - to simplify registration, all registrations will be sorted by skill level during the registration process before being sorted by age when and where possible.

APA has a complete Event Formats page describing format expectations, qualifying divisions of play with regards to DUPR ratings, and how seeding/tie breakers work through the link below. It is each players responsibility to review and understand the posted policies prior to completing registration. Please pay close attention to the Qualifying Divisions of Play as our team will push all players to their qualifying division of play based on this information to prevent players from "playing down." Players with 25+ games posted to DUPR and a 60%+ reliability rating will play at their posted DUPR rating regardless of their assumed abilities. These posted expectations will be applied across the board to all players at all events.
