We are officially integrating State Pro Leagues into our ecosystem, creating a direct pathway to The Dink 22 Minor League Pickleball (MiLP) National Championship. This new structure sets a clear track for elite amateur and aspiring pro players to compete at the highest level and keep improving their pickleball ratings. 

How It Works


– Winners and top performers from sanctioned State Pro Leagues qualify directly for DUPR 22
– Leagues also have the option to enter teams into DUPR 20
DUPR will provide head-to-head graphics, detailed stats, and full end-of-season analytics

This alignment strengthens the competition and builds a defined route to the top through pickleball tournaments and the DUPR Teams system.
