We're committed to making tournament play as fair and rewarding as possible. That's why we’re launching DUPR Verified events to:

• Provide stronger safeguards against manipulated match activity
• Protect the integrity of ratings at every level
• Elevate the value of verified competition‍

‍What Are DUPR Verified Events? 

Clubs and organizations that meet elevated quality standards can opt to run DUPR Verified events designed to deliver the highest level of trust and competitive integrity. These events require all players to complete a validation process.

Participant Requirements:

‍To compete in a DUPR Verified event, players must have both a DUPR+ subscription and an authenticated phone number.

Higher Standards:

‍All DUPR Verified events are reviewed and approved by the DUPR Fairplay Committee. Clubs and organizations who fail to uphold these standards will be removed from the program. Read the DUPR Verified event policy here.‍

Match Weighting:

Because players and organizers are held to a higher standard, DUPR has the highest confidence in results from DUPR Verified Events. As a result, these matches count more toward player ratings than standard matches.

Optional Participation:

Not every event will be DUPR Verified. Regular DUPR events remain an important part of the ecosystem and continue to count toward player ratings. Verified simply represents the next level: a premium option for organizers and players who want their competition to carry the most weight and credibility.
