How Do You Claim an Unclaimed DUPR Account From a Pickleball Tournament?
If you played in a tournament on PickleballTournaments where matches were submitted to DUPR before July 2025, there is a strong chance a DUPR profile was automatically created for you. If you never created or linked a DUPR account, your match results may already exist under an unclaimed profile that you can easily claim.
What Is an Unclaimed DUPR Account?
An unclaimed DUPR account is a player profile automatically generated when match results are submitted to the DUPR rating system but the player has not yet registered or linked their account.
This often happens when players:
• Enter tournaments where match results are sent to DUPR
• Do not yet have an official DUPR login
• Have not linked their Pickleball.com account to DUPR
In many cases, the system creates a placeholder profile using the same email address used to create your Pickleball.com account.
Claiming the account allows you to take ownership of the profile and manage your rating, match history, and future results.

You can claim your DUPR account either through the DUPR website (desktop) or through the DUPR mobile app.
