What Is World Pickleball Rankings (WPR)?

World Pickleball Rankings (WPR) is Pickleball.com's official ranking system, tracking results and standings for both professional and amateur players in one unified platform. It's designed to give players at every level — from recreational to professional — a way to track their competitive standing and progress over time.

What Makes WPR Different

Most existing rating and ranking systems in pickleball focus on either the professional or the recreational/amateur side of the sport, but not both in one place. WPR is built to cover the full spectrum of players — a recreational player tracking their local match results and a touring professional competing on the PPA Tour or in Major League Pickleball (MLP) can both find their standing within the same system.

Note

World Pickleball Rankings is a newly introduced system, and specific details — including how rankings are calculated, how to register, and how results are reported — are best confirmed directly at worldpickleballrankings.com rather than assumed from how other rating systems work, since WPR's methodology may differ.

Why WPR Matters for Players

One system, every level: Whether you play recreationally, compete in local tournaments, or play professionally, WPR is designed to reflect your standing within a single, unified ranking structure.
Connected to the broader Pickleball.com ecosystem: As part of Pickleball.com's suite of products, WPR is built to work alongside the platform's tournament, league, and club tools that many players already use.
A clearer picture of competitive standing: Having professional and amateur rankings in one system makes it easier to understand how your results compare across the full competitive landscape of the sport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is World Pickleball Rankings the same as DUPR?

No — WPR is Pickleball.com's own ranking system, separate from DUPR. Both track player results and provide a way to measure competitive standing, but they are independent systems. Check worldpickleballrankings.com for details on how WPR specifically works.

Can both amateur and professional players get a WPR ranking?

Yes — this is one of the defining features of World Pickleball Rankings. Unlike systems that focus on just one segment of the player base, WPR is built to track standings for recreational and amateur players as well as touring professionals.
