DELRAY BEACH, Fla., October 1, 2025 – Leading pickleball tours, leagues, and clubs including National Pickleball, World of Pickleball, The Dink Minor League Pickleball, Triple Team Pickleball League, Pickleball Is Great, The Picklr, Performance Pickleball, and The Flying Pickle have confirmed to host DUPR Verified Events.

By adopting DUPR Verified, these organizations are implementing stricter eligibility rules, consistent score reporting, and ratings that carry greater match weight. Verified events are designed to ensure fair brackets, meaningful results, and improved trust in competition.

“DUPR Verified events carry a higher weight on reliability scores, meaning every match counts more toward a player’s rating,” said John Campbell, Founder & CEO of World of Pickleball.

This commitment from tours reflects a growing consensus across competitive pickleball that standardized rules and transparent results are essential for the sport’s long-term growth.

“At The Picklr, our priority is to give members access to the most accurate and competitive experience possible. Hosting DUPR Verified Events helps us do exactly that,” said Mike Richards, COO of The Picklr.

With tours, leagues, APIs  and clubs adopting the Verified standard, DUPR is creating a unified framework for fair play. Results from Verified events not only impact player ratings more significantly, but also reward consistent participation and ensure that divisions are balanced across skill levels.

“The commitment from these partners demonstrates the sport’s readiness to evolve,” said Tito Machado, CEO of DUPR. “They are setting the bar for fairness, accountability, and trust; and players everywhere will benefit.”

DUPR Verified Events are designed to ensure fair competition through consistent eligibility and score reporting, protect rating accuracy by requiring DUPR+ and verified accounts, and deliver a standardized tournament experience where results carry lasting impact.
