Add your DUPR ID when booking
When you book, you can add your DUPR rating and your DUPR ID. Your rating is shown next to your name on the session page, so others can see who's playing. Your ID stays private — only the club sees it, to check ratings. Both are optional for most sessions, but required for the Upper Advanced League (4.0+ only).
Your DUPR ID is the short code shown under your name in the DUPR app or website — e.g.
ID: 0QL4DG
What is DUPR?
Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating
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?+
Only for the Upper Advanced League on Saturdays, which is 4.0+ DUPR only. Every other session can be booked without a rating.
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.
