Pickleball Canada has adopted DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) as its official rating system for all sanctioned events.
1) How can I see the DUPR page in French?
Individuals can see the DUPR website by choosing their preferred language on the DUPR website. To find out more about this, please click the following link: DUPR – Preferred Language.
2) How do I get started in DUPR?
To get started in DUPR, you just need to follow these simple steps: DUPR – How it works
3) How do I, as a Tournament Director, ensure the results from my sanctioned tournament get uploaded to each individual’s DUPR account?
To ensure all scores get uploaded to each player’s DUPR account, they must ensure that their DUPR account is linked to their pickleball.com account. All players who don’t have a connected DUPR account linked to their Pickleball.com account will need to connect one. Once all accounts are connected, even if this happens after the tournament concludes, they can then go in, flip the DUPR sharing to ‘on,’ and send the results to DUPR. They cannot take this step until the player accounts are linked.
To find out how to link your DUPR account, please reach out to support@pickleball.com
4) How do I get my DUPR rating reviewed?
To find out information surrounding your DUPR rating, please head to DUPR Requests to learn more about your DUPR rating.
5) Will all Pickleball Canada members be given a DUPR account?
Under our agreement with DUPR, registration in the system will be seamless at signup for all Pickleball Canada members, including the ability to activate their DUPR account if they choose to participate in tournament play, as well as the flexibility to activate if they choose to join a ladder or league. If an individual member chooses to not activate their DUPR account they will simply show as a non-rated (NR) player.
6) Will each event be required to use DUPR even if it is an unsanctioned event held by an affiliated club?
Only Pickleball Canada sanctioned events are required to use DUPR. Club operated tournaments are not required to utilize DUPR, though it is recommended.
7) Do players have to consistently play DUPR events to maintain their rating?
Yes, players must play DUPR events consistently to maintain an accurate and reliable rating, as match recency is a key factor in the DUPR algorithm.
