At Pickles and Play, we encourage all participants to establish a DUPR rating. We will have several opportunities to do so through tournaments and league play, and this will enable players with established DUPR rating to participate in a DUPR Waterfall. We anticipate a few events to be sanctioned as Waterfall events. This format offers four (4) competitive matches all within a four-hour period. These will be sanctioned events with DUPR through Pickles and Play and provides opportunity for individuals to go onto regional and national DUPR Waterfall events.
