What is DUPR?
How does DUPR work?+
DUPR calculates your rating based on match results — who you played, who won, and by how much. It updates dynamically after every recorded match. The more you play, the more accurate your rating becomes.
What do the numbers mean?+
Ratings run from 2.0 to 8.0+. Beginners typically start around 2.0–2.5. Recreational players are usually 3.0–3.5. Competitive club players are often 3.5–4.5. Pro players are 6.0+. Most players at Carpe Dink'em sit between 3.0 and 4.5.
Is DUPR free?+
Yes — DUPR is free to use. You create an account at dupr.com, set up your profile, and your rating builds as results are submitted.
Do I need a DUPR to play at Carpe Dink'em?+
No — DUPR is completely optional. You can book and play sessions without a rating. It's there for players who want to track their progress or compare their level to others.
How do I get my first DUPR rating?+
Your first rating is based on self-assessment when you sign up, then gets refined as your match results come in. Playing in DUPR-tracked events and club sessions is the fastest way to establish an accurate rating.
