Tournament Format

• Age divisions are assigned based on the players age on the FIRST DAY of the tournament. 
• Doubles events are Co-Ed, meaning boys and girls compete together and can be the same gender or mixed gender of any combination. 
• Doubles teams will play to the division of the oldest/highest skilled partner. 
• Divisions may be combined at the discretion of NJP to optimize player experience, based on final registration numbers.
• Each event will be round robin pool play with playoff rounds. Every player will play a minimum of four games.
• The top three finishers in every age/skill division and event will receive a medal.
• Franklin X-40 is the Official Tournament Ball.
• Courts are climate controlled indoors.
• All players must have a (free) DUPR account before the start of the tournament. All matches are reported to DUPR.
• NJP follows USAP rules, but is not a USAP sanctioned tournament.
• NJP has no requirements that paddles be USAP or UPA-A approved. Junior players, especially beginners, use a wide variety of paddles from various brands that may or may not be approved. NJP doesn’t want to cause stress or additional costs for Junior players entering the game if they are not aware of their paddle status. We also understand that the paddle approval landscape is constantly changing and do not want to affect Juniors or their families until there are clear and definitive guidelines across the industry.

Skill Level Definitions

Players will be required to connect a DUPR account in order to be entered into Intermediate or Advanced Divisions. They will automatically be registered into the singles or doubles division based on their DUPR.

• Recreational – No DUPR – 2.89 DUPR
• Intermediate – 2.9-3.50 DUPR
• Advanced –  3.51+

Appealing your DUPR skill level

If you believe your DUPR is not accurate and would like to be considered for a different division, please email registration@nationaljuniorpickleball.com with: Full Player Name, NJP Event, Desired Division and Reasons for appeal. A player’s overall DUPR/UTR/NJP player history will be the main determining factor in most cases. Appeals will be evaluated weekly and players will be notified of the final decision. Any change in skill level (up or down) will be at the discretion of Registration Manager and Tournament Director with the goal of providing the best overall experience.

More About DUPR and Tournament Play

Tournament play is much different that recreational play, which is why a validated DUPR is important if you wish to play competitively. “I play 3.5 at open play” does not necessarily translate to a 3.5 DUPR rating. The good news is that if you win all of your matches, your intial DUPR rating will set you up to qualify for higher level tournaments in the future. DUPR ratings are needed for most levels of serious competition, so we’re glad that we’ll get you started on the right path at your first NJP tournament.
