How to connect your Pickleball.com profile to DUPR

  • How Do You Connect Your Pickleball.com Profile With DUPR?

    You can connect your Pickleball.com profile with your DUPR rating directly from your account settings. This integration allows tournament results to sync automatically between platforms, helping players track performance more accurately while enabling tournament directors to place competitors in the correct divisions.


    What Is the Pickleball.com and DUPR Integration?

    The Pickleball.com and DUPR integration links your player profile with the Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR) system.

    This connection allows:

    • Your tournament results to update your DUPR rating
    • Your rating to appear within your Pickleball.com profile
    • Tournament directors to use accurate player ratings for event placement

    By connecting the two platforms, players gain a clearer picture of their competitive progress while events maintain consistent rating standards.


    How Does the Pickleball.com and DUPR Integration Work?

    Once your accounts are connected, results from events and tournaments automatically sync between platforms.

    This means:

    • Events played in PickleballBrackets update your DUPR rating
    • DUPR-rated matches update your Pickleball.com player profile
    • Tournament organizers can rely on a consistent rating system

    This integration helps streamline tournament management while improving rating accuracy for players.


    Why Is DUPR Becoming the Default Rating System?

    DUPR is being adopted as the primary rating system for many tournaments because it provides a unified method for evaluating player skill.

    Key updates include:

    DUPR will become the default rating system for most new tournaments
    • Exceptions may apply for organizations such as Pickleball Canada and USSP Senior ratings
    • All tournament results will be reported to DUPR regardless of rating system used

    This shift helps standardize ratings across events and ensures consistent competitive placement.


    What Happens to PBR/WPR Ratings?

    As the transition to DUPR continues, previous rating systems are being phased out.

    Important changes include:

    PBR/WPR will no longer be offered for new tournaments
    • Existing tournaments that are already open for registration may continue using them
    • A “Convert to DUPR” option is being developed for tournaments transitioning systems

    During this transition period, support for PBR/WPR adjustments will remain available but will gradually decrease as more events adopt DUPR.
