Mid Season Retreat

More than a tournament.

A full weekend built around the women who drive this sport — pro camps, recovery, a welcome mixer, and a stay at the Marriott.

Find Your Division

Which division can your team play?

Enter the DUPR ratings of the four players you would put on court in a match. A division is only open to your team if both the team combined DUPR and every individual player fall within its limits.

Your four players

Team combined 0.00

This is the combined DUPR of the four players active on court in a match, not the full roster. Each division also caps the highest individual rating allowed.

Placement policy

Teams are placed in the lowest division for which they qualify. Playing up one division is permitted. Playing up more than one division requires Tournament Director approval.
