PLINKY PLONK, the UK marketplace for court sports, now has a DUPR integration built right into the app. Players can link their DUPR account, carry their rating across the app and see DUPR woven through every format in PLINKY PLONK's Organise suite.

By the numbers

• 5 formats in PLINKY PLONK's Organise suite where DUPR is part of the experience: Fixtures, Round Robins, Quickfire Tournaments, Leagues & Box Leagues, Ladders
• 177 UK venues listed right now (live figure as of September 23, 2026)
• 2 players needed to confirm a score before it goes across

What went live with the DUPR integration

DUPR is the rating system most competitive pickleball players already use. From today, a PLINKY PLONK player can link their DUPR account and have their rating and their results move between the two without any manual admin.

Linking runs through DUPR's own hosted login. A player signs in to DUPR inside PLINKY PLONK, PLINKY PLONK never sees their password, nothing is shared until they choose to connect and they can disconnect at any time from their account settings.

Your rating, wherever you play

Once an account is linked, the player's DUPR rating shows on their PLINKY PLONK dashboard and profile, along with the date it last moved. DUPR pushes rating changes through to PLINKY PLONK, so the number stays current on its own. Nobody has to retype a rating or screenshot an app.

DUPR, in every format

Round Robins, Leagues & Box Leagues, and Ladders all submit scores to DUPR once they're recorded and confirmed. A casual Tuesday night box league in Kent counts towards a player's rating the same way a tournament does.

Fixtures let an organiser require a DUPR membership level to join, so a session can be kept at the standard it's meant for. Quickfire Tournaments uses each player's DUPR rating behind the scenes to balance the pools when they're drawn, so pool play stays competitive from the first match.

Nothing reaches DUPR on one person's word. A score only goes across after someone on the other side of the net confirms it. Either player can flag a result instead, which routes it to the PLINKY PLONK team for review rather than to DUPR.

"Most people never play a tournament. They play on a Tuesday night with three mates. This makes those games count."
Wayne Cohn, Founder, PLINKY PLONK

Nobody gets locked out

Players without a DUPR account can still find courts, book, pay, join sessions and record scores exactly as before. The DUPR layer is additive. It rewards the players who want a rating and stays out of the way of everyone else.

"The UK pickleball scene is growing fast, and most of that growth happens at club nights and local leagues. PLINKY PLONK makes it easy for those games to count toward a player's DUPR rating, which means more accurate ratings and better matches for everyone."
Tito Machado, CEO, DUPR
