DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) is the most accurate global rating system for pickleball players. It provides a universal language for the sport, ensuring that every player—regardless of age, gender, or location—has a rating that truly reflects their skill level.
Why use DUPR?
The goal of DUPR is to make pickleball more enjoyable by ensuring matches are fair and competitive.
-
Accurate Matchmaking: It uses a specialized algorithm to evaluate players based on their performance, not just wins and losses.
-
Universal Standard: Whether you are playing in a local park or a professional tournament, your DUPR rating stays with you.
-
Track Your Progress: It allows you to see how you improve over time as you log more matches.
How it works
Your rating is calculated based on three primary factors from your match history:
-
Margin of Victory: How many points you won by matters more than just the final score.
-
Type of Match: Results from sanctioned tournaments often carry more weight than self-reported recreational games.
-
Opponent Quality: Beating a higher-rated player will boost your rating more than beating a lower-rated one.
