What is a club rating?

Pickleball Club Sandwich supports club-specific pickleball ratings used to create better matchups, seed events, and keep leveled play fair. Ratings are displayed on a 1.000–7.000 scale.

How do I get a rating?

You get a rating after recorded eligible matches. Your first recorded results may move your rating more quickly while the system learns your level.

What matches count?

Official ladders, round robins, league matches, and tournaments with official score entry can count. Open play, drills, clinics, and social play do not count unless explicitly recorded as eligible.

What affects rating movement?

Movement depends on opponent strength, expected outcome, scoreline, and consistency over time. A close loss to a stronger team can move differently than a one-sided expected win.

Can my rating go up after a loss?

Yes. If you perform better than expected against a stronger team, your rating can still increase after a loss.

Can my rating go down after a win?

No. A win is rewarded, though a win that is far below expectation may result in only minimal movement.

How does the system work for doubles?

Doubles results update each individual player. The system evaluates the strength of both teams, then adjusts each player based on the outcome and score.

What is the difference between overall and league ratings?

Overall rating reflects recorded eligible play across the club. League rating reflects a specific league or series when that context is shown.

What if a score was entered wrong?

Report the issue to the organizer or use the data-correction page. Corrections are reviewed by staff; the public site does not directly mutate rating data.

How should I use my JUPR rating?

Use it to choose leveled sessions, seed ladders and tournaments fairly, follow progress, and create competitive matches. It reflects recorded club performance, not a guarantee of any single result.

Why can JUPR differ from DUPR or my bracket level?

JUPR uses the official matches recorded in this club system. Other ratings and brackets use different data, eligibility rules, scales, and update policies.
