What is DUPR?

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: 1. Margin of Victory: How many points you won by matters more than just the final score. 2. Type of Match: Results from sanctioned tournaments often carry more weight than self-reported recreational games. 3. Opponent Quality: Beating a higher-rated player will boost your rating more than beating a lower-rated one. Getting started on Reclub If you're a host looking to bring official ratings to your community, you can integrate your Reclub activities with DUPR. - Sync Your Club: Connect your Reclub community to a DUPR Club ID to gain the access to submit. - Submit Results: Once synced, match scores can be sent directly to DUPR to update player ratings instantly.
