Player Rating System
At Bendigo Pickleball Club, we use DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) — the most accurate and trusted rating system in pickleball worldwide.
DUPR rates players on a scale from 2.0 to 8.0 based on their match results. It considers:
-
Who you played
-
The score
-
The type of match (social, league, tournament, etc.)
The more you play, the more accurate your rating becomes!

If your ball enters another court, wait until their point finishes before retrieving it.
