How do player ratings work in pickleball?

Question

Scott Fliegelman · Answer

There are really two ways to answer the question of how ratings work and pickleball for competitive players participating in tournaments, they receive an objective rating based on wins and losses as they play in tournaments, they will likely be anywhere from 3.0 up to 5.0. The professionals, go above 5.0, so you might enter into a tournament based on your age and skill for example. Oil entering in the 35 Plus age group for 3.0 23.5 players. And ideally you're playing at, you know, against a similar level of opponent secondarily, there are more subjective ratings based on, you know, some places in the country. The courts are really crowded and they may have them allocated to different levels of play at different times of day. So either, You are self-seeding based on your rating or other place in the country. Have folks professionals, who will come and do the rating for you. Watch you play or put you through a series of drills and then let you know what your level of play is so that you can then play on the appropriate, Courts at the appropriate time.
