League Teams

About Player Eligibility

The defining characteristic of this league is that matches are played between two teams each consisting of 2 women and 2 men. The league recognizes that gender identity is personal. The policy of this league is to let players participate in the gender category with which they identify for purposes of team competition, with no formal verification required.

Before any player can be added to a team roster, the player must have created a DUPR account and obtained a rating. There is no minimum rating for any Division. A player's DUPR rating cannot exceed the maximum rating for the Division in which the team participates.

• For DUPR 12 and 12 50+ Divisions, an individual player's DUPR rating may not exceed 3.60.
• For DUPR 14 and 14 50+ Divisions, an individual player's DUPR rating may not exceed 4.10.

There are no residency restrictions. What makes the league local is that courts on which matches are played are within easy traveling distance of each other in western Alameda and Contra Costa (East Bay) counties of the San Francisco Bay Area.

About Team Formation

A team must have a minimum of four players (two men and two women) and may include as many as 8 players on its roster. One team member must be designated Captain (or two members designated as Co-Captains). The team Captain is the authorized point of contact for all communications with the League and is responsible for managing the roster and submitting the names of the four players who will play in each match.

Once a team signs up to participate in a division of the League, their current ratings are "locked" for the season. Team uniforms are highly encouraged but not required.
