  2. Refunds
    • No refund provided after TBD (credit towards future tournaments will be granted)
    • Full refunds granted if weather or other factors prevent play
  3. # of teams is CAPPED per division. Teams that sign up for a full division will be fully refunded and contacted
  4. 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
    1. If you have medaled in a division that is the lowest division you may enter
      • Example: If you’ve medaled in 4.0 but your DUPR is 3.7 the lowest you may enter is 4.0
    2. If you have played a division (or higher) 3x or more the lowest division you may enter is .5 below that 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
    3. 50+: The same logic applies to you but you are given an additional .5 threshold
      • Example: If you’ve medaled in 4.0 but your DUPR is 3.7 the lowest you may enter is 3.5
      • Example: If you’ve played 4.5 3 times but your DUPR is 3.7 the lowest you may enter is 3.5
  5. The tournament will start promptly. If you’re more than 5 minutes late you will forfeit the first match
