DUPR Leagues
— Restricted DUPR ranges at each level create fair, competitive matchups where every match helps build a more accurate DUPR rating.
NON-DUPR Leagues

Team captain(s) receive complimentary or discounted registration, and all team members are honored with awards and recognition at every level of achievement.
Clubs that achieve Regional and National success receive cash awards in recognition of their commitment along with a donation in their name given to a charity of their choice.
As we reach key participation milestones, 10% of net profits will be dedicated to charitable organizations each season because we believe in competing at the highest level while contributing to something greater!.
