PPF Partners with DUPR for Global Player Ratings

Can Filipino pickleball players earn international ratings? Yes — the Philippine Pickleball Federation (PPF) has partnered with DUPR, the global standard rating system used by top professionals worldwide.

The partnership brings official ratings and ranking integration, tournament development, and community education to Filipino players. It enables Filipino players to earn crucial rating points to become eligible for major professional tournaments like the PPA Tour and Major League Pickleball.

Under the agreement, Filipino players participating in PPF-sanctioned events will now have their outcomes tracked on the DUPR system — the same platform used by top professionals globally. This means ratings earned at home will be valid on the international stage.

DUPR CEO Tito Machado said: "Asia continues to be one of the fastest growing pickleball regions in the world, and the Philippines has built one of the most passionate and organised pickleball communities anywhere."
