🏅 Player Eligibility

Players who have previously won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in tournaments listed on the following platforms are not eligible to participate:

• SportSync

Reclub Trophy events are exempt from this rule and will not affect eligibility.

🎉 Fun Dink Challenge

Besides the main tournament, we are also hosting a Fun Dink Challenge for everyone to enjoy!

Eligibility

• No age restriction
• No gender restriction
• No DUPR restriction
• All registered tournament participants are eligible to join.

Rules

• Each team will have one attempt (unless otherwise announced by the organizer).
• Both players must remain inside the Non-Volley Zone (Kitchen) and perform continuous dink shots.
• Every successful legal dink rally counts as one (1).
• The challenge ends when the ball lands, goes out of bounds, hits the net, a fault is committed, or the ball is not successfully returned.
• Teams will be ranked based on the highest number of consecutive successful dinks.

In the event of a tie, the organizer will arrange a playoff or use another method determined by the organizer. The organizer reserves the right to amend the rules and make the final decision.

📊 DUPR Verification

Players are not permitted to intentionally lower their DUPR rating through social games or any other means in order to qualify for this tournament.

The organizing committee will review each player’s DUPR history. If a player is found to have deliberately manipulated or lowered their DUPR rating, the organizer reserves the right to reassess the player’s actual playing level based on previous records and determine their eligibility accordingly.

DUPR records from 1 April 2026 onwards will be used as the official reference for eligibility verification.

⚖️ Organizer’s Rights

The tournament organizer reserves the right to verify all player information, review eligibility, and make the final decision regarding participation.

If any participant is found to have provided false information, concealed previous tournament results, or violated any tournament rules, the organizer reserves the right to disqualify the player or revoke their results without prior notice.

❤️ Fair Play

We encourage all participants to uphold the spirit of fair play by respecting their opponents, referees, and the game while enjoying every match.

PlayFit First Serve Cup is more than just a competition—it’s a platform for players to gain experience, build confidence, make new friends, and create unforgettable memories.
