DUPR Camp

DUPR stands for Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating. It is the global, data-driven skill rating system for pickleball. Much like a handicap in golf or an Elo rating in chess, it uses an algorithm to evaluate player skill on a scale from 2.000 (beginner) to 8.000+ (professional) based on match results, margin of victory, and opponent strength. In order to use your DUPR to participate in PCVG activities that require a rating, you must have a minimum of 24 games in your DUPR profile and a reliability factor of 60 percent or higher.

The DUPR Camp program is open to all Villages resident pickleball players regardless of the number of games or reliability percentage.

DUPR Camp is not for beginner players! It is not instructional in any way. It is competitive play for players looking to establish an accurate rating.
