We are excited to release the DUPR Reliability Score, our newest metric to help you better understand your rating. This guide will help you learn what the Reliability Score is, how it works, and why it's important.
The Reliability Score measures a player's progress toward reaching a reliable rating based on their match history and connectivity to the broader DUPR population. A player's Reliability Score is calculated as a percentage between 1 and 100 and shows how reliably a player's rating represents their current skill level.
Each player will have separate Reliability Scores for singles and doubles. These scores will be displayed alongside, but in smaller font than the main DUPR rating.
The following image shows how the reliability score is displayed on a player's profile.
The introduction of the Reliability Score aims to provide transparency into how dependable a player's rating is based on how many matches they have played and their connectivity to the rest of the pickleball population. By establishing a threshold for event entry based on the Reliability Score, we ensure that only players with dependable ratings participate, thereby maintaining the integrity of competitions. Additionally, this score encourages users to engage actively with their ratings, motivating them to play more matches and keep their ratings reliable and up-to-date.
A passing Reliability Score is 60%, which is the score we encourage clubs to require for participation in DUPR leagues and tournaments. But achieving this score is just the beginning of the journey as the next step is to aim for a fully reliable rating, which is reached at 100%.
Note: The Reliability Score will be updated every Tuesday on a weekly basis. Therefore, if you play your first matches on a Wednesday, your reliability score will not be reflected in your profile until Tuesday of the following week.
