‍Hey DUPR Community!

We just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to each and every one of you for being such a supportive part of the pickleball world. It’s because of your enthusiasm that we’re able to keep enhancing our tech, ratings, and events. While we know there’s no such thing as a perfect rating, we’re committed to getting as close as possible!

‍

Here’s what we’ve been working on, based on your feedback:

1. Match Data Import: We’ve brought in tons of match data, both historical and recent, thanks to PickleballTournaments.com and PickleballBrackets.com. If you’ve competed in events on these platforms, you’ll now see those games in your profile, reflecting your entire body of work and contributing to a more accurate, reliable rating.

2. Duplicate Match Removal: With match data flowing in from all directions, we’ve taken the time to clean up some duplicate self-input entries. This means a cleaner, more accurate match history, so every game counts exactly as it should. You may notice that some of your self-added matches are now removed as the official results have replaced them.

3. Algorithm Improvements for Highly Reliable Players: We noticed that super-active players weren’t seeing much rating movement despite playing new matches. To fix this, we’ve adjusted the algorithm to make ratings more responsive to each match, more accurately reflecting current skill levels.

‍

4. Rating Updates: Related to the large match data import and algorithm improvement, we’ve recalculated all past matches in order with the updated algorithm, which means you may notice a slight adjustment in your rating. Your match-by-match record is the same, but your overall rating now reflects these latest adjustments.

Thank you for being an essential part of DUPR. These updates make sure your ratings are even more accurate and meaningful. If you’ve got any questions or more feedback, we’d love to hear from you!
