No two-point advantage is required. * No traditional side-out scoring will be used. This faster scoring format aims to ensure quicker matches, smoother rotations, and shorter waiting times. 🏟️ Court Allocation To maintain efficient gameplay while accommodating regular Open Play participants: * Court 1: Exclusively reserved for DUPR Singles matches throughout the event. * Court 2: May be used alternately for DUPR Singles and regular Open Play, depending on court availability and Open Play attendance. * If Open Play attendance is low, two courts may be used simultaneously for DUPR Singles to speed up match completion. * If Open Play attendance is high, the second court will be shared or prioritized for regular Open Play as needed. Court allocation and match sequencing will be managed by the event hosts to ensure fair and efficient use of available courts. 🏆 Optional Championship & Bronze Matches After both batches complete their respective round-robin matches, the following matches MAY be held: 🥇 GOLD & SILVER – CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Batch 1 Rank #1 vs. Batch 2 Rank #1 * Winner: GOLD / Champion * Runner-up: SILVER / 2nd Place 🥉 BRONZE – THIRD PLACE MATCH Batch 1 Rank #2 vs. Batch 2 Rank #2 * Winner: BRONZE / 3rd Place ⚠️ IMPORTANT: These final matches are OPTIONAL and will proceed only if time permits, courts are available, and all qualified players are present and willing to participate.
