Divisions & DUPR Caps
Divisions are defined by a combined DUPR cap. Both players' ratings must be under that cap to register. Women receive a 0.5 DUPR reduction applied to their rating for the cap calculation.
| Division | DUPR Cap | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mixed 7 | 7.0 combined | Women's ratings reduced by 0.5 |
| Mixed 8 | 8.0 combined | Women's ratings reduced by 0.5 |
| Mixed 9 | 9.0 combined | Women's ratings reduced by 0.5 |
| Mixed 10 | 10.0 combined | Women's ratings reduced by 0.5 |
Example: Male (4.5) + Female (4.8 actual, counts as 4.3) = 8.8 combined — eligible for Mixed 9.
Rating System
- Every team starts at 1000 rating points
- Our custom Elo-style system (separate from DUPR)
- Beat a higher-rated team = big point gain
- Beat a lower-rated team = small point gain
- Lose to a lower-rated team = big point loss
- Challenging down is a bad deal — you risk a lot and gain very little
