What is a DUPR Score and how do I get one?

DUPR’s is a pickleball player rating scale, all new players start as NR (Not Rated) and progress through a scale ranging from 2.000 (beginner) to 8.000 (professional). Your rating updates automatically every time a result is shared. Registration is free and available here. You are not required to provide your DUPR ID and score if you are registering as a beginner.

I don’t have a partner; can you pair me up with someone?

We encourage you to register yourself and we will do our very best to pair you up with someone in your age group and skill level. Pairings are not guaranteed and depend on other registrations. In the event that we are not able to pair you with another player, we will issue a refund for your ticket.
