The DUPR ranges for these levels are ideal targets; Pro-Am Gauntlet reserves the right to adjust bracket placement when necessary to maintain competitive balance and field integrity.
Premier and Challenger share a start time on purpose — they run side by side on separate courts.
How the night runs
Phase 1
You're sorted into a Division of 8 by DUPR. The highest-rated player in each Division is that Division's Top Gun.
Phase 2
Seven matches, one game to 11, rotating partners. You partner your Top Gun once and face them twice. Wins set your Division seed.
Phase 3
Finish 3rd in your Division and you play the other 3rd-place finishers on Court 3. Every court is a final — Court 1 is the championship. Win your court, win the night.
Scoring
One game, first to 11.
Confirm
Dual score confirmation after every match.
DUPR-rated
