Format:
Brackets are formed with 16 teams maximum and after each round, you continue playing against a team with the same sequence of wins-losses. For example, after round three, teams who won their first 2 and lost the 3rd play and teams that lost the first and won the next 2 play. Your sequence matters even though all teams have 2 wins and 1 loss.
Brackets:
4 matches will be scheduled within a four-hour designated time window. Brackets will be released 48 hours prior to the start of the tournament. Players sign up with or without a partner and DUPR will create brackets of 16 teams based on the Team Average DUPR.
Bracket Breakdown:
-
Local Waterfalls: 4 brackets (128 players)
-
Regional Waterfall: 8 brackets (256 players)
-
16 teams maximum per brackets
Open Gender / Age Events:
Participants can play with a partner of any age, gender, or level. The common denominator? Play will be competitive, level-based, and DUPR-neutral across demographics.
Maximum DUPR:
Players must have a DUPR of 5.25 or less because the DUPR Waterfall guarantees DUPR-neutral play; the tournament director will have final approval on tournament admission. You will be notified of your bracket (start time) 48 hours prior to the event start date.
Partner Differential:
Within the DUPR Algorithm, matches, where players are rated with a difference greater than 1.50, are excluded. Therefore, players may not sign up with a partner outside of that range. So, a 5.0 can’t play with a 3.4, but a 4.9 and a 3.5 could play two players rated a 4.4.
Local Platinum Ticket:
The winning team of each bracket will receive one Platinum Ticket to the 2023 DUPR Waterfall Nationals.
Regional Platinum Ticket:
The winning team in each of 8 brackets will receive one Platinum Ticket to the 2023 DUPR Waterfall Nationals.
