Event Breakdown
Event Breakdown
Since this format can be a bit confusing, here is how it works:
The Lineup: Each club creates teams of 4 (2 men, 2 women) to ensure even court usage.
Fair Play: We use combined DUPR ratings to match teams. If ratings are heavily lopsided, we will mix teams up to keep the games fun and competitive.
No Partner? Register as an individual and our competition committee will help find you a team.
Match Format (3 Rounds per Team)

To make it easier for everyone to participate, we have decided to eliminate the qualifier event. We recognized that requiring an extra day of availability for a qualifier was acting as a barrier for many players, making it too difficult to commit. Now, you only need to be free on game day!
The first 6 teams to sign up will secure their spots to play on Friday, July 31. Teams will be ordered by their combined DUPR.
