Brackets are based on DUPR ratings. If you do not have a DUPR rating yet, you may go by your USAPA Skill Rating. Players can sign up for a higher bracket but not a lower bracket. Exceptions at Tournament Director discretion and take into allowance match history and known DUPR local variations.
Once you receive your match assignment, you can pick any available court for your match.
Court side is determined by one/two fingers behind a paddle. The fence side serves first. Switch sides at 6 points unless both sides agree to stay.
After your match, winners should come report the match result at the tournament desk. Both teams should also get their next match assignment.
