Tournament Fee Breakdown – Each player must register and pay separately. Your total fee is comprised of 3 different fees:
1. Early Registration Fee – $45 per player – NOT PER TEAM – This will increase to $75 after 75 players have registered.
2. Event Fee – $30 per event – Singles, Gender Doubles and/or Mixed each has a separate fee. If you play in one event, it’s $30, two it’s $60, three it’s $90.
3. PB Brackets Service Fee – $5-10 – This is charged by the platform, we have no control over this fee.
We will not have the exact bracket start times until after registration closes.
DUPR ratings will be used to determine bracket placements.
We reserve the right to move players/teams into their appropriate skill bracket based on their DUPR rating at the time of the tournament (regardless of rating at the time of registration).
Scores will be uploaded to DUPR.
