- Full refunds granted if weather or other factors prevent play
- # of teams is CAPPED per division. Teams that sign up for a full division will be fully refunded and contacted
- Sandbagging Prevention:
If you do not have a DUPR and are clearly sandbagging, your team will be ineligible and refunded proportionally to the number of games you have played to the # of games in your group- If you have medaled in a division that is the lowest division you may enter
- If you have played a division (or higher) 3x or more the lowest division you may enter is .5 below below unless you’ve medaled in them (RE rule #1)
- Example: If you’ve played 4.5 3 times but your DUPR is 3.7 the lowest you may enter is 4.0
- Example #2: If you’ve played 4.5 2 times and 5.0 1 time but your DUPR is 3.7 the lowest you may enter is 4.0
- 50+: The same logic applies to you but you are given an additional .5 threshold
- The tournament will start promptly. If you’re more than 5 minutes late you will forfeit the first match
