DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with the Philippine Pickleball Federation (PPF), one of Asia’s leading national pickleball organizations and a member of the Global Pickleball Federation (GPF).

The partnership marks another major step in DUPR’s continued expansion across Asia and reinforces a shared commitment to growing pickleball through standardized ratings, player development, tournament integrity, and community engagement.

Founded in 2019, the Philippine Pickleball Federation has played a central role in organizing and promoting pickleball across the Philippines, helping grow the sport from grassroots clinics into a nationwide movement with thousands of active players.

Under the partnership, DUPR will work closely with PPF to support:

• Official player ratings and ranking integration
• Tournament and league development
• Club and grassroots activation
• Player pathway and competitive development initiatives
• Community education and pickleball awareness across the Philippines

The collaboration also aligns two organizations committed to the long-term global growth and unification of pickleball. PPF is part of the Global Pickleball Federation family, a worldwide effort bringing together national federations and stakeholders focused on transparent, inclusive, and internationally recognized governance for the sport.

“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 organized pickleball communities anywhere,” said DUPR CEO Tito Machado. “We’re excited to work alongside the Philippine Pickleball Federation to support players, clubs, tournaments, and the broader ecosystem with a global standard for ratings and competition.”

Philippine Pickleball Federation has been instrumental in helping establish pickleball infrastructure across the country through clinics, tournaments, referee development, coaching programs, and regional partnerships. The federation has also been active internationally through its involvement in Asian and global pickleball governance initiatives.

Together, DUPR and PPF aim to create more opportunities for Filipino players to compete, improve, and connect with the global pickleball community while continuing to accelerate the sport’s growth throughout the region.
