PickleballENGLAND, the country’s governing body for pickleball, has adopted DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) Presented by Delaware Life as the official and exclusive ratings partner for the federation.

DUPR evaluates players based on match results to provide a real-time, reliable assessment of their skill level. The rating system analyzes a player’s match results to provide a real-time assessment of their skill level across 2.000 - 8.000 scale. All players, regardless of their age, gender or location, are rated on the same scale, unifying the pickleball community with a common language through an accurate, global rating system.

PickleballENGLAND requires all players participating in the English Open, English Nationals and PickleballENGLAND leagues to have a DUPR account. PickleballENGLAND will also ensure that results from these events are submitted to DUPR to count for player ratings. 

‍

“DUPR’s system is used by thousands of clubs, leagues and tournaments to provide competitive, level-based play for the millions of pickleball players worldwide,” said Karen Mitchell, co-founder and Chair of PickleballENGLAND. “Adopting DUPR as the official and exclusive ratings partner will help create fair and open competition for players of all levels, from beginners to those playing in the country’s top events. Our mission is to create and support opportunities for everyone to enjoy and achieve in pickleball, and DUPR’s rating system and technology will help us in reaching these goals.”

“PickleballENGLAND is one of the sport's most innovative and influential governing bodies. They have been sharing the results from the English Open with DUPR for three years, which has been instrumental in driving the adoption of the rating at the club and grassroots level. We are honored to now become the official rating of the federation and further support  their efforts in advancing the growth and development of the sport in the UK and worldwide,” said Tito Machado, DUPR CEO. 

Players who do not currently have a DUPR account can go to www.dupr.com or download the app to create a free profile and begin logging their match results to establish their rating.
