DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) and PickleLiga today announced a new partnership designed to support Türkiye’s growing pickleball community through connected player ratings, match results and tournament management.

PickleLiga is a bilingual pickleball platform developed for players, clubs, facilities and tournament organizers. Available on web, iOS and Android, the platform brings court discovery and reservations, open-play sessions, tournaments, match recording and player development tools together in one connected ecosystem.

Through the DUPR integration, players can connect their existing DUPR accounts to PickleLiga, view their ratings and find events or tournament categories suited to their level. Tournament organizers and facilities can manage competitions through PickleLiga and submit eligible match results to DUPR, streamlining match submission and helping players build a more consistent competitive record.

“Pickleball in Türkiye is developing quickly, but sustainable growth requires more than simply adding courts and events,” said Alex Killioglu, Founder of PickleLiga. “Players need a trusted way to understand their level, organizers need practical tools to run competitions, and the community needs a connected structure. Our partnership with DUPR helps bring these elements together.”

“By bringing DUPR’s global rating system to PickleLiga, we’re making it easier for players in Türkiye to track their progress, compete at the right level and build a recognized competitive history,” said Tito Machado, CEO of DUPR. “We’re proud to partner with PickleLiga as the sport continues to grow in Türkiye and look forward to helping connect more players and competitions to the global pickleball community.”

Türkiye’s pickleball landscape continues to expand through local clubs, open-play communities, junior and adult programs, and a growing number of organized competitions. The Uluslararası Raket Sporları Derneği (International Racket Sports Association — URSD), a member of the Global Pickleball Federation (GPF), supports this development by connecting participation in Türkiye with the wider international pickleball community.

The partnership creates a clearer pathway for players in Türkiye to build an internationally recognized competitive history. It also gives organizers the infrastructure needed to manage events, record scores and deliver fairer, level-based competition.

PickleLiga is free for players, clubs, facilities and tournament organizers. The platform currently supports Turkish and English and will continue to expand with new features and tools designed to make playing, organizing and growing pickleball communities easier.
