PTS Tips & Tricks:
New Feature! DUPR Integration

Big news! You can now connect your DUPR account, and have your DUPR rating automatically update in your PTS profile. You can also set up DUPR-rated play sessions and require that players have a DUPR within the specified range in order to sign up.

Since its creation in 2021, DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) has become widely adopted by many players and organizations, including the PPA (Professional Pickleball Association). It was developed as a global rating system for pickleball players, designed to provide an accurate and universal skill rating based on match results rather than self-assessments.

To get started using DUPR with PlayTime Scheduler, first visit My Account and click the "Connect with DUPR" button. Log in to your DUPR account, and check the box to authorize PlayTime Scheduler to access your ratings. As your DUPR changes over time, we’ll automatically update your PlayTime Scheduler profile.

Under the Add Session screen, there is now an option for using DUPR when selecting your session's skill level. When you choose to create a DUPR-rated session, players must have synced their accounts and have a qualifying DUPR in order to join. You can choose whether or not to permit players with only Provisional DUPR ratings (one assigned by a certified DUPR coach) to join as well.

On the main calendar page, DUPR sessions will be labeled as such on the bubble. Your calendar filters and notification preferences will adjust based on the rating system used for each session. You will not be notified of new DUPR sessions until you’ve connected your accounts.

Power Users have the option to print or export their session’s signup list with players' DUPR IDs included, making match submission that much easier.
