What is the UTR Pickleball Rating (UTR-P)?
Equipped with over a decade of expertise as the creator of the gold-standard UTR Rating for tennis, UTR Sports offers the most accurate and reliable global rating for pickleball.
The UTR Pickleball Rating (UTR-P) is designed to rate every kind of player, whether you're swinging your first paddle or smashing through pro-level tournaments. The UTR-P includes both provisional and numerical ratings for singles and doubles players.
Players without match results logged will receive a provisional rating (P1-P5) based on a questionnaire. After one match, the player will receive a projected rating, and after seven matches, the rating automatically converts to a reliable decimal rating on a scale of 1.0 - 10.0 (from beginner to expert/pro).
What matches count towards the UTR-P Rating, and what is verified vs. unverified?
Results are either verified or unverified scores depending on whether the match or tournament was organized and played according to UTR Sports’ verified rules, or the match or tournament was a player organized/social/recreational, for which scores are unverified.
All USA Pickleball-owned events, all APP events, and all UTR Sports events are verified events. The UTR-P algorithm takes into account up to 60 of your most recent matches.
A verified UTR-P Rating is indicated by a checkmark badge on a player’s profile. Ratings will dynamically move up and down as new results are factored in.
