  • You do not need to register with a partner.
  • For each group of four players, it takes three games of rotating partners to complete a game with and against each player.
  • Each player will have the opportunity to play at least six games.

Tournament FAQs

Which session should I sign up for?  

  • If you want to test your abilities against very good players or would like to add DUPR-rated matches, sign up for the Thursday night Powerball session.
  • If you are a Powerball-level player and also want to play against players in your own age group, sign up for either or for both sessions.
  • If you are an intermediate player, sign up for Saturday morning.

What if I don't have a partner?

Partners are not needed for the tournament. If you have a partner you would be interested in playing with, see our TeamReach group, or contact [email protected] for our Partner Ladder sessions. Those who sign up for the tournament will be given first priority for the Partner Ladder sessions.  

Do I need an official DUPR Rating to sign up? 

No official DUPR rating is required to register for the tournament. However, if you are playing in the Thursday night Powerball session, you will need a free DUPR ID so that your match results can be used to create or update your DUPR rating.
   
How does my rating DUPR affect tournament placement?

DUPR ratings will be used in the Thursday night Powerball session to help with seeding and to assign byes if there is an uneven number of players.

When will I get my shirt 

When you register, you can choose your shirt style and size. Shirts will be ready for pickup at the JCC after the event; day and time will be provided.
