Important Information
Any gender-mix is allowed for each team. For fairness: teams with female members will be allowed a slightly higher DUPR-count.
Any gender-mix is allowed for each team (for fairness teams including women will be allowed a slightly higher DUPR-count: 0.2).For example (DUPR 14 Division):
- 4 male players: Max DUPR 14.
- 3 male players + 1 female player: Maximum DUPR: 14.2.
- 2 male players + 2 female players: Maximum DUPR: 14.4.
The same rule applies to DUPR 16 division: each female player allows +0.2 for the total team DUPR.
This tournament has a Round-Robin format. Each team will play a minimum of 5 matches, and 6 if they reach a Medal Match.
Maximum 1 division participation per player. Players may only register for one division (either DUPR 14 or DUPR 16).
Each round the team captain of each team chooses which 2 players will play first. Automatically, the 2 players who are left in each team will play the remaining match (because 1 player can only play once in each team vs team encounter)
