DUPR partners with Poland pickleball's national governing body, becoming the exclusive rating system for the country's competitive scene.

The Związek Polskiego Pickleballu, Poland's national pickleball federation, has signed a multi-year agreement making DUPR its official rating partner. Every federation-sanctioned event will now submit results directly to DUPR, giving Polish players a rating built on real, verified competition.

A federation built for growth

The Polish Pickleball Federation is a member of the Polish Olympic Committee and oversees tournaments, rankings, coaching certification, and club development across the country. This partnership makes DUPR the federation's exclusive rating system, meaning results from every sanctioned event, from local club tournaments to national championships, will feed directly into DUPR.

That gives players across Poland one consistent rating. The same number whether they're competing in Warsaw or stepping onto a DUPR-rated court anywhere else in the world.

What this partnership means for Poland pickleball players and clubs

For Polish players, this is the difference between guessing your level and knowing it. A DUPR rating brings:

• A number built on real, verified match results, not self-reported skill level
• Fairer brackets at club and national events
• Easier partner and opponent matching, in Poland and anywhere else DUPR is used
• One rating that means the same thing no matter where you play

Clubs benefit too. Federation-affiliated clubs now have a direct path to run DUPR-rated leagues and tournaments, with every result counting toward the national picture of where the sport stands in Poland.

Building the game across Poland

Poland is an emerging market for pickleball, and the federation has a clear plan for growth. Priorities include increasing the number of players and clubs nationwide, expanding the national tournament and ranking system, building junior and school programs, certifying more coaches, and supporting dedicated pickleball facilities across the country. The federation is also deepening its international partnerships and raising the sport's visibility in the Polish sports market.

A shared rating standard gives all of that growth a stronger foundation. As more clubs and players join, DUPR data will show exactly how the sport develops in Poland, match by match.

This partnership puts Poland alongside the growing list of countries and federations that trust DUPR as the standard for competitive play. Follow the Polish Pickleball Federation on Instagram (@polskipickleball) and Facebook (Polski Pickleball) for updates, and check your own rating at dupr.com.
