Once a team registers for a Minor League Pickleball event, their ratings are “locked” and their DUPR increasing or decreasing will not impact the team’s aggregate or division placement. If you are a NR (not rated) player, your rating will be set to the average rating of the division you sign up for.
Single Registrations
If you are registering as a single registration but are already part of a team, please notate Team Name AND the DUPR Division. For example, “Mad Drops – 18.”
If you want to play in the Minor League Pickleball event but are unable to form a team, the tournament director will do their best to place you on a team. For players that are not placed, thus not playing the event, their registration fees will be refunded minus the Stripe Fee and processing fees.
Substitute Players
A team that needs a player substitute can either edit their team by signing into Swish and making the edits themselves or a player may submit the player substitute information directly to the tournament organizer. Substitute player’s DUPR may not cause the established team’s aggregate to go over max event’s aggregate.
To sign up for any Minor League event, a DUPR account is required at the time of registration. Not rated players can play, however their estimated rating will be verified by the tournament director. All players must join the Minor League Pickleball DUPR Digital Club via their DUPR app. SWISH App download with DUPR linked is also required.
