Last revised
DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) is a global, head-to-head rating system that lives on the player rather than on a specific tour. It updates after every reported match and works across rec, club, amateur, and pro play.
Common reference points: 3.0 = beginner, 4.0 = intermediate, 5.0 = strong club player, 6.5+ = pro-tier, 7.0+ = elite pro. DUPR is independent of PPA / APP rankings, which use points-based season scoring.
