DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) and PlaySight have announced a strategic partnership to revolutionize the pickleball experience. This collaboration integrates DUPR’s precise global rating system with PlaySight’s advanced AI technology, providing players with seamless access to their ratings and match footage. The new "DUPR Moments" feature will highlight key match moments, allowing players to analyze and enhance their performance. This partnership aims to redefine player engagement and interaction with the sport, setting a new standard in pickleball analytics. For more information, visit DUPR and PlaySight’s websites.

DUPR has updated its match validation process for recreational pickleball games to enhance rating accuracy and fairness. Now, a match is validated only when all participants confirm the results, ensuring legitimacy and integrity in ratings. If a match is pending validation, it means some players need to confirm or reject the outcome. The new group chat feature in the app facilitates easy coordination among players for validation. Learn about these changes and how they contribute to a fair playing field on DUPR. For assistance, contact the support team to ensure a smooth experience.
