Bring your DUPR rating to set your starting tier, then win competitive games to climb five Court Class badges. Under the hood, we work hard to find fair games for every player.
Set your first tier with a DUPR rating or a quick skill pick
Already have a DUPR rating? Enter it when you sign up and we place you at the right Court Class from game one.
No DUPR, no problem. Pick a skill level, Beginner, Intermediate, or Expert, and we set your starting tier. You climb from there.
Only competitive games move your Court Class. Casual queues let you play relaxed, with no pressure and no consequences.
Five progression badges that mark every milestone — the satisfaction of leveling up, made visible
Where every player begins
Finding your rhythm
A force on the court
Among the best at your park
The apex of pickleball
Steady, visible progression — not just a number that moves a tenth
Join a competitive queue. Your match goes through real matchmaking and the result counts toward your Court Class.
Each tier has three sub-levels (I, II, III), so you feel steady progress instead of waiting for one big jump.
Hit the next tier threshold and your badge advances. New color, new design, a real milestone.
The apex: Diamond Ace. Reserved for the top of the rating ladder. Only the best wear the crown.
You play. We do the work to make every game count.
Rankings show your tier — not a four-decimal rating
See where you stand among players everywhere — ranked by badge tier so the climb is clear, not cryptic.
Become the top tier at your favorite court. Local rankings show the badges of who's playing where.
