DUPR Rating System Explained
To Join:
Anyone can get a DUPR rating. It is free. Just download the DUPR app for your phone and/or go to the DUPR website and create an account. Make sure to go the extra step and join as a Landings Club member.
Why DUPR:
Helps our pro's put together good teams for the Tuesday League making sure people have a good time.
Creates a common language. When new players arrive, they can find players/groups to join and know they will be able to enjoy their experience.
Let's players who want to work on their game know where they stand competitively.
To get a rating:
For doubles get 3 other players, agree it is a DUPR match and at the end of the match, enter the scores. For singles, one other player. How to enter scores is shown below.
How it works:
In the DUPR system, a player attains their rating primarily by how many points they win or lose by. Age, gender, rating, and match type (men vs men, women vs women, mixed) and wins/losses are taken into consideration.
A rating happens after entering 1 match. It is more accurate after 10 , and a solid rating after 20.
The system uses up to 60 matches played. At 61 and after, those fall off.
In the algorithm the 20 matches most recently played get the most weight, the middle 20 medium, and the first 20 entered into the system get the least amount of weight.
Games that won't count:
If a team has a combined rating of .625 higher than their two opponent's combined rating, that match will be in DUPR but will not count towards a rating.
The Connectivity Dynamic:
There is also a connectivity dynamic that is in the system. If a person you played has a rating that has either increased or decreased, it will affect the quality of your matches against them. If their rating goes up yours will. If it goes down, yours will.
