Rating system
This may not even get read but it’s worth a shot lol I would love a system that keeps players playing in tournaments of their own rating. Those with no duprs yet must play 3.0 to start and their dupr begins at 3.0. 3.0-3.4 players must play 3.0 tournaments, 3.5-3.9 players must play 3.5 tournaments. 4.0-4.4 players must play 4.0 and 4.5-4.9 must play 4.5. This would keep players whose duprs are way too low for their skill level, from entering higher tournaments and getting the reward for losing and increasing their dupr while the other team is suffering for winning a match. I would also like to propose a new rating system. For each point gained or lost in a match, that goes towards your dupr score. If you beat a team 11-3, then both players gain .08 points toward their dupr. If they lose the next match 11-0, then they lost .11 from their dupr. The current system where one player is losing .050 points while his teammate is only losing .10 is kind of unfair. Thank you for the time and God bless.
The Pickleball Standard
DUPR has been very helpful in creating pickleball events that have fair brackets. The app makes it easy to look up players and put in games of my own.
