What is your Pickleball rating?
|
Do you actually know your pickleball skill level… or are you just guessing?
Pickleball ratings go beyond wins and losses. They factor in consistency, control, strategy, and how you adapt on the court. Understanding your rating can help you find better competition, enter the right events, and track real improvement over time.
We break down how ratings work, what DUPR looks at, and how you can get rated in our full article.

How to Find the Perfect Pickleball
|
Not all pickleballs play the same, even when they look identical.
Small differences can change how the ball feels, how long rallies last, and how consistent play is across different courts. Most players don’t think about it until something feels off mid-game.
This article walks through what separates an average pickleball from a great one and what to consider before choosing your next ball.

Pickle Moneyball: Where Every Point Counts
|
|
Pickle Money Ball is raising the bar in amateur pickleball with a total prize fund of $1.2 million to be awarded in 2026. The series will feature two $600,000 events, starting March 19–22 at the Arizona Athletic Grounds in Mesa, Arizona. Pickle Money Ball uses a nationwide leaderboard, where players nominate through the Pickle Money Ball app before competing to earn points.Â
|
The top 64 players on the leaderboard as of March 8 will qualify WITH NO ENTRY FEES for the Arizona event, which will feature 25 brackets paying 16 places deep. All qualified players are guaranteed four games, with the opportunity to qualify for and compete in multiple brackets. DUPR-rated divisions are available.
The earlier you start nominating, the better your chances of qualifying for the $600,000 tournament. Nominations are open now, and one $25 nomination gets you on the leaderboard today. This is the biggest-paying amateur pickleball tournament in the country. Full details are available in the links below:
