We have a big announcement. Pickleheads and MyDUPRCoach (an innovative app that lets coaches assess players' skills and assign DUPR ratings) today announced the launch of RateMyGame.
This new platform allows players to upload a short video from any pickleball game – anywhere in the world – and receive a DUPR rating.
So, what is a DUPR rating? This is one of the main recognized skill rating systems in pickleball. Until now, obtaining a DUPR rating has been a challenge – you need to log matches, attend rating clinics, or travel to sanctioned events.
As a result, many players use self-ratings, often estimating their skill level without a consistent benchmark. This can lead to mismatched games and make it harder to join leagues, tournaments, or other organized play with confidence.
What is RateMyGame?
RateMyGame solves this. Players can now receive a DUPR rating remotely with no clinics, no match logging, and no waiting.
All you need to do is record a few minutes of video from a doubles game and submit it via RateMyGame. A certified DUPR coach will then review the footage and assign you a rating that can be used to create and join games at your skill level.
Player benefits include:
- Get your DUPR online, anytime and anywhere.
- No need to log match data to get rated or attend a rating clinic.
- Receive a DUPR rating that syncs directly to DUPR and Pickleheads.
- 40% discount when you rate yourself and a partner together.
A passport to a better pickleball experience
Today, a DUPR rating is essential for players seeking games at their skill level. A DUPR rating can open doors to private games and groups, as well as leagues and tournaments.
RateMyGame offers a faster, more accessible path to rated play. Players can:
- Connect with others at their true skill level.
- Play more competitive, balanced games.
- Track progress and improvement over time.
- Unlock access to private games, leagues, and tournaments.
"A DUPR rating is the key to competitive pickleball, but it's been too hard for new players to get one," said Brandon Mackie, Co-founder of Pickleheads. "RateMyGame removes that barrier and helps more players find the right games faster."
"This partnership addresses one of the biggest hurdles for players, getting rated early and reliably while introducing them to DUPR's trusted rating system," said Katie Nimitz, President of MyJourney Technologies, which owns My DUPR Coach. "When skill parity improves, everyone's experience improves. RateMyGame helps players feel more confident, connected, and committed to the sport."
