DUPR ratings
What a DUPR rating represents, how it differs from a tour ranking, and how often we refresh it.
What DUPR is
Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating — a head-to-head Elo-style rating that lives on the player rather than the tour. We display it for context; we do not publish rankings ordered by DUPR for pros, because DUPR pools rec and pro play.
Refresh cadence
Every six hours.
How to read it
A DUPR of 6.5 in pro play is roughly the floor of competitive tour play; 7.0+ is elite. We list singles and doubles separately because they correlate weakly.
