Skill-Rating

Skill-rating refers to a subjective rating of a player’s skill level, typically based on Pickleball skill assessment guidelines defined by an established organization, such as USAPA or IPTPA. There are two types of skill-rating:

  • Self-rating: Players assign ratings to themselves based on predefined skill rating guidelines.
  • Coach-rating: Players are assigned ratings by a Pickleball coach based on the coach’s knowledge and predefined skill rating guidelines.

Skill-Rating Guidelines

USAPA and IPTPA offer skill-rating guidelines:

  • USAPA Definitions of Player Skill Ratings

Game-Rating

A game-rating or tournament-rating refers to a calculated rating of a player’s accumulated game scores. Players who participate in tournaments affiliated with major organizations typically receive ratings. DUPR is the only organization that provides a game-rating without requiring a player to play in a tournament.
