What is DUPR?
DUPR stands for Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating, a global rating system for pickleball players of all levels. It was developed in 2021 by Steve Kuhn, founder of Major League Pickleball (MLP). DUPR is considered the most inclusive and accurate rating system in pickleball. It takes into account multiple playing formats, such as rec and tournament, uses a 3-digit system, and rates player attributes on the same scale between 2.00-8.00 based on their match results. 

What is DUPR in Pickleball?
Jan 17, 2024 — DUPR stands for Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating. It's a global rating system designed specifically for pickleball players of all levels. The system helps to provide a unique and accurate measure of a player's skill level, irrespective of age, gender, or location.

How to Figure Out Your Pickleball Rating in 3 Steps
DUPR is an acronym for Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating, which is commonly referred to as the most inclusive and accurate rating system in pickleball. It takes into account multiple playing formats, such as rec and tournament, uses a 3-digit system, and rates player attributes on the same scale.

DUPR is dynamic, changing every time a game is played and recorded, giving the most accurate picture of a player's skill level at any given time. It provides clubs and organizations with universal, real time ratings for its players. DUPR is very helpful for setting up tournaments, seeding people, and making sure that matches between players of different skill levels are fun. 

DUPR considers the scores of the match and the 4-digit rating of your opponent to calculate your rating. For example, if you have a rating of 4.213, and your opponent has a rating of 4.394, and you're able to pull off an “upset,” the DUPR considers that you beat a better opponent and will raise your rating. 

DUPR ratings are an invaluable tool for enhancing your pickleball experience and fostering personal growth in the sport.
