Pickleball is a sport that is enjoyable for players with a wide range of skills and abilities. To accommodate such diverse members, PRI offers programs intended for certain levels of play to narrow the skill range of the players on court. To help players find their rating we have offered various options including rating clinics, leagues and tournaments that calculate ratings on game results.

One limitation has been that the ratings are often only accurate for a small subset of our membership – specifically those that participate in either the ratings clinics or the competitive events. Outside of those groups the ratings are not always comparable, leading to confusion and disappointment that the ratings are inaccurate.

With the introduction of the Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR) system across a series of tournaments, leagues, ladders, and recreational programs at Pickleball Regina, we are looking to address many of those concerns. A key benefit for our members that choose to participate is they will be able to develop a rating that is transferrable and comparable across a rapidly growing population of pickleball players globally, not just within our local club

In the past, PRI has often used the highest rating for a player from any source as the club rating for a member. Given that these sources (PBB, CTPR, GPN, Legacy, etc) are not calibrated to each other this has reduced the effectiveness of using this approach. As DUPR grows in popularity and is more widely adopted it’s expected to become a more accurate gauge of relative skill among members.

By introducing DUPR, we aim to elevate the competitive standards at PRI, ensuring every member can accurately track their progress, compete fairly, and enjoy the game. We look forward to your support in implementing these exciting new programs.
