The World Pickleball Ranking (WPR) is the Carvana PPA Tour's official professional ranking system — and this season marks its launch as the first system built to identify the best overall players on the planet. Rather than measuring performance in a single event or discipline, WPR combines each professional player’s results across all three disciplines into one unified, global ranking.
WPR is built to capture the full picture of a professional player’s competitive performance. Each player’s ranking is determined by combining results across three disciplines — gender doubles (weighted at 50%), mixed doubles (35%), and singles (15%) — drawing from a player’s best 14 results over the past 52 weeks. Every PPA event worldwide feeds the same point system, so no matter where a player competes on the PPA Tour, it counts toward the same global ranking. It’s a clearer, more credible way to tell the story of who the best players really are.
