Formerly known as “Open Play for DUPR”, these sessions give players who do not have a DUPR the chance to obtain their initial rating. In this session, you will play in a round robin against other players who are not rated. Your scores will be recorded and entered into DUPR. Shortly after the scores are entered, you will have a rating!
Once you obtain your initial rating it opens the door for you to join in many more of our programs.

These league options are for regular competitive play where DUPR scores are recorded for all matches. They typically run for 6 weeks.
Co-ed, Men’s, Women’s (In-House Leagues)
In this league you sign up as an individual. You will have a set schedule where you rotate partners each week. The player with the best point win percentage at the end of the league schedule wins.
Ladder League
You also sign up for this league as an individual. Each week you will be grouped with 3-4 other players based on where you are in the standings, and you will play a game with each of them as your partner. As you win or lose, you go up or down the rankings, so players move up or down the ladder on a weekly basis. The league runs for 8 weeks, but you can pick and choose which weeks you want to participate.
Partners League
Sign up with a partner and compete against other teams in your division.
-
Non-DUPR rated play for anyone, always in a casual setting and often including food and beverages.
Themed Socials
