April 13, 2026 — DUPR today announced an expanded integration with PB Vision that allows players to receive an initial DUPR rating based on a single recorded match, without the need to play in a tournament or league.

Players can now upload match footage to PB Vision, where AI technology analyzes thousands of data points per game, including shot quality, movement, positioning, error rates, and court coverage across six skill dimensions. These inputs are used to generate an AI-powered rating within the DUPR system, giving new and unrated players a faster path to a real rating.

Players can upload their first free video on PB Vision to get a rating and link directly to their DUPR account from their PB Vision profile.

The feature is designed to support new and unrated players by offering an earlier indication of skill level, while maintaining DUPR as the official source of record for player ratings. As players log more matches, their rating continues to be driven by match results.

“Providing more accessible entry points into the DUPR system is an important step in growing the sport,” said Tito Machado, CEO at DUPR. “This integration allows us to explore how video-based inputs can support onboarding while preserving the integrity of results-based ratings.”

Mike Arney, Co-Founder at PB Vision, added: "Our focus is on evaluating how you actually played. Our AI rates players across serves, returns, offense, defense, agility, and consistency from a single game video. Connecting that to DUPR means players get an objective starting point and a clear picture of what to work on next."

Players can begin using the feature by uploading match footage through PB Vision. New users receive one free video analysis, and resulting ratings will appear in their DUPR profile as AI-assisted.

Players with existing DUPR ratings can also use PB Vision for detailed performance breakdowns, shot-by-shot analysis, skill ratings across six dimensions, and AI coaching insights to identify specific areas for improvement.

DUPR and PB Vision will continue developing deeper integration between video-based performance data and match-based ratings.
