In the 2024-25 season, TSPC piloted DUPR as a means of assessing players to determine readiness for the Competitive level sessions. The executive felt that DUPR was more effective than the testing method used previously.  DUPR also allows the club to organize play such that individuals are better matched with like competitors. 

DUPR RATING SESSIONS for the current season will be scheduled on the fourth weekend of each month beginning in October.  These sessions will take place at St Michel, and are open to players with a rating above 2.6. Refer SUG for exact dates and time.

Competitive Level Play

Currently, members that attain a DUPR rating greater than 3.1 at a minimum reliability of 60% can be invited to play in Competitive sessions. 

  • Note that TSPC members may only play in one division:  recreational or competitive.  
  • A player that attains the benchmark for competitive level may choose to remain playing at the competitive or the recreational level. However, they must choose, they cannot receive SUG invites for both divisions.
  • Players attaining competitive status prior to DUPR implementation, who do not wish to participate in DUPR, will be given a DUPR rating of 3.1.
