DUPR is expanding its platform with the launch of DUPR+, a new premium membership tier designed to provide players with deeper performance analytics and AI-driven insights. While the standard rating system remains free, this subscription service aims to help players understand the nuances of their game, including how they perform under pressure and how they compare to the broader pickleball community.
Key Features of DUPR+
The DUPR+ membership introduces six distinct features intended to offer a comprehensive look at your on-court performance:
- DUPR Insights: This tool tracks your rating trends over time, your record in clutch situations, and your history of upset wins, providing data-backed evidence of your performance under pressure.
- Performance vs. Skill Level: This feature displays your win percentage against opponents in different rating brackets, allowing you to identify exactly which skill levels you dominate and which ones present a challenge.
- Metro Area Rankings: Players can now see how they stack up against others in their specific geographic region, moving beyond simple comparisons with their regular playing partners.
- AI-Enhanced DUPR Rating: This optional feature incorporates AI video analysis to add an extra layer of technical insight to your player profile.
- DUPR Replay: Subscribers receive a monthly, AI-generated recap that summarizes their recent matches and overall performance metrics.
- Verified Checkmark: This feature verifies your identity and grants access to participate in official Verified Events.
Additionally, DUPR+ provides DUPR Rating Percentiles, which offer a full distribution of pickleball ratings. This allows users to see where they fall in the national rankings, where the median player sits, and exactly how rare a 5.0 rating is.
For those interested in testing these tools, DUPR is offering a free two-week preview for all players worldwide from October 13 through October 27. Following the trial period, the membership will cost $19.99 per year, which averages out to approximately $1.67 per month. DUPR notes that subscribers can receive up to $130 in membership benefits, including a $30 JOOLA gift card and a choice between $20 in Club Cash or a complimentary coaching lesson. While DUPR+ offers a deeper dive into performance data, the standard DUPR rating system and basic MyDUPR statistics will remain available to all users at no cost.
