Fall League Dates:  To Be Determined

League Overview

The 8.0+ Men's Pick Your Partner League is an advanced, competitive men's doubles league. Teams register with a permanent partner and compete against opponents with similar combined ratings throughout the season.

The league uses a two-division format based on combined partner ratings. The divisions are determined after player registration. Teams are placed into divisions based on their combined PCVG or DUPR ratings at the time of registration.

Game scores are reported to DUPR.
