The league
Arizona Club Pickleball — a DUPR-recorded league
Doubles-only, three ranked lines per match, best of three to 11. Every game is recorded and submitted to DUPR within 48 hours of match night — the rating benefit players are actually promised.
Open to outside clubs too, not just PURE Academy teams. A verified DUPR account is required before a player's first league match.
