Pickleball Canada DUPR Partnership: Pickleball Canada, one of the world’s largest pickleball federations, has officially adopted DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) as its official rating system. The change will create a single, trusted system for all players, coaches, and organizers across Canada, ensuring fairness and consistency in competitions.
Unified Ratings Across Canada
All Pickleball Canada members will now have a DUPR rating. This applies to grassroots, recreational, and competitive play. Every Pickleball Canada-sanctioned event will use DUPR for seeding, bringing transparency and accuracy to tournaments.
Benefits for Players and Organizers
DUPR uses a 2.000–8.000 scale, giving players clear, fair rankings. Real-time, match-based ratings help players track performance and progress. Tournament directors can seed brackets, create divisions, and manage events more easily with DUPR integration.
