DUPR Algo Update: Win or Lose, Your Ratings Can Go Up
|
DUPR’s recent algo update evaluates performance vs. expectation, not just wins and losses.
Now, every point matters. Whether you're the underdog or the favorite, the algorithm rewards players who outperform expectations. Even in a loss, strong play can boost your DUPR. On the flip side, a win with underperformance will lower your rating.

|
Why It Matters
Performance-based
Your rating reflects how well you play, and every point counts.
More accurate
Point-by-point data gives a more precise measure of your skill level.
Â
Fair for everyone
Every player can improve their rating by outperforming expectations.
