Rules and Format:
DUPR Rules:
- DUPR is recorded once at the start of the season.
- Team total = sum of the 4 highest DUPRs on your roster (regardless of weekly lineup).
- Unrated players will receive an assigned average based on their division (if entering the 13-15 bracket, a 3.5 DUPR rating will be assigned to any non-rated players)

Pre-game rules:
For the lineups, team captains can do 1 or 2 behind the back. The winner decides whether to act or react to the first match lineup and chooses to play men’s or women’s doubles first; the loser has to act or react accordingly. For the following round, the captain who lost the number guess gets to choose to act or react. Each round alternates from there.
