📢 PPSC PLAYER LEVEL GUIDELINES

To ensure fair and enjoyable Open Play for everyone, player levels will be assessed based on ball control, consistency, and overall game skills—not just the ability to return the ball.

🟢 Novice Level

Players may be placed in the Novice category if they:

Can return the ball but have limited control.
Can rally only 2–3 shots on average.
Struggle with shot placement and consistency.
Are still developing basic pickleball skills and court awareness.
🟡 Intermediate / 🔴 Advanced Level

Players may be considered for the Intermediate or Advanced categories if they can:

Consistently return the ball with control.
Sustain longer rallies.
Execute d***s with consistency.
Perform drop shots effectively.
Demonstrate ball control, placement, and strategic play.
Maintain rallies while minimizing unforced errors.
🎯 Our Goal

The purpose of player grouping is not to exclude anyone, but to create balanced matches where everyone can learn, improve, and enjoy the game.

If a player is found to be significantly above or below their current category, PPSC Marshals and Admin Staff may recommend moving them to a more suitable level to ensure the best Open Play experience for all participants.

Thank you for helping us maintain fair and competitive play at PPSC!

📢 PPSC OPEN PLAY PLAYER GROUPING & DUPR GUIDELINES

At PPSC, we strive to provide one of the best Open Play experiences for all players.

Unlike many Open Play formats where a match can end in just a few minutes and players must immediately leave the court, PPSC provides a fair 15-minute court time per match, ensuring everyone gets quality playing time and a better overall experience.

To make Open Play enjoyable and competitive for everyone, we work hard to group players according to their skill levels. Our goal is to create balanced games where players can learn, improve, and have fun.

DUPR Reliability Score Below 60%

Players with a DUPR Reliability Score below 60% may choose the level they wish to join. However, to maintain fair and balanced play:

Open Play Marshals will monitor court assignments and player levels.
We encourage all participants to help us maintain balanced groups.
If a player appears significantly above or below the level they registered for, we may make adjustments.
For Novice Players

If you encounter a player who appears too strong for the Novice level, please notify a PPSC Marshal or Admin Staff so we can assess and move them to a more appropriate group if necessary.

For Intermediate & Advanced Players

If you believe a player would have a better experience in the Novice category, please let a PPSC Marshal or Admin Staff know so we can review their placement.

Challenge Court –



The Challenge Court serves two important purposes:

***Helps players record rated DUPR matches.

***Allows players to be reassessed if they want to move up to a higher skill level.

This system helps ensure that player groupings remain accurate and that everyone has a fair opportunity to compete at the appropriate level.

📢 PPSC DUPR-Based Open Play Implementation

To ensure fair play, proper skill matching, and a better experience for all players, PPSC will be implementing DUPR-based Open Play sessions.
Players will be grouped by DUPR rating to help maintain balanced games and encourage player development at every level.

Important Notice

If your DUPR Reliability Score is below 60%, your rating will be considered unreliable and may not accurately reflect your current skill level. In such cases, the PPSC Organizing Team will conduct a manual assessment and assign you to the most appropriate Open Play group.
