Get rated.
Without the pressure.
A women-only introduction to DUPR-rated match play for players who want to get their first rating, build their match history and understand how the DUPR system works.
Start somewhere
comfortable.
Curious about your DUPR rating but not quite ready to jump into a regular ranked session?
DUPR Debut is designed as a friendly introduction to rated match play for women who already know how to play pickleball but may be new to DUPR.
You'll play a series of organised doubles matches with different players while our team explains how DUPR ratings, match submission and the Reliability Score work.
Your matches count towards your DUPR rating, but there are no elimination rounds and no public leaderboard.

DUPR Debut
questions.
Do I need an existing DUPR rating?
No. DUPR Debut is particularly suitable for women who are currently unrated and want to start building a DUPR match history.
Can I join if I already have a DUPR rating?
Yes. Players who already have a rating but want to build their match history may also join.
Is this suitable for complete pickleball beginners?
No. This is not a beginner pickleball lesson. You should already understand the basic rules and scoring system and be able to serve, rally and participate in a doubles game.
Do I need to bring a partner?
No. Participants register individually and will partner with different players during the evening.
How many rated matches will I play?
Each participant is scheduled to play four DUPR-rated doubles matches.
Will the results count towards my DUPR rating?
Yes. Match results recorded during the session will be submitted to DUPR.
Is there a tournament winner?
No. There are no elimination rounds and no public leaderboard. The purpose is to gain rated match experience rather than run a knockout competition.
What happens during the lounge rotations?
We'll explain DUPR ratings, match submission, Reliability Score and how to build a more reliable rating over time. You'll also have time to rest, hydrate and ask questions.
Do I need a DUPR account before attending?
Yes. Please create a free DUPR account before attending and ensure that your profile information is accurate.
What is the cancellation policy?
Fees are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another event date. You may transfer your place to another eligible participant by informing us before the session.
