Members Ratings Process
Over the last few years, the Lethbridge Pickleball Club, Coaldale Pickleball Club, Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization, and Pickle Point Centre have worked together to develop a unified ratings system for our area.
Together, these organizations have established a fair, consistent, and transparent rating system that ensures quality assessments for all players across the region.
Once a member is rated through LCARS, that rating is valid across all partner clubs and organizations.
Updated for 2026
Through the Joint Ratings Committee, the following major updates have been made to the policy for 2026:
- All new player assessments and re-assessments will now take place at Pickle Point Centre.
- Integration of the DUPR rating system to support verifiable and consistent ratings through the Verifiable Rating Form.
How This Works in Practice
- When you join our club, you will be given a NOT RATED (NR) designation. If you wish to obtain a different rating, you will need to apply through one of the two processes described in the LCARS 26 document attached below.
- All re-assessments are conducted by the coaching staff at Pickle Point Centre.
- Players who meet DUPR specifications may submit their verified rating through the Verifiable Rating Form for official validation within the LCARS framework.
