pbWins FAQ

pbWins rankings are based on total verified wins from DUPR-tracked matches. Players are ranked by their number of verified doubles wins, pulled directly from official DUPR match history. The more verified wins you have, the higher you rank on pbWins leaderboards. Unlike skill ratings, pbWins rankings simply count wins—rewarding players who compete frequently and consistently.

pbWins rankings count total verified wins, showing who competes most actively. Pickleball ratings (like DUPR) measure skill level through algorithms that factor in opponent strength, game margins, and recent performance. You can have a high ranking with many wins against lower-rated players, or a high rating with fewer wins against top competition. pbWins celebrates volume and consistency; ratings measure pure skill.

No, pbWins has no impact on your DUPR rating whatsoever. pbWins simply displays data from DUPR—it doesn't change or influence your official rating. Your DUPR rating is calculated solely by DUPR based on your match results, opponent strength, and performance factors. pbWins is a separate platform that ranks players by total verified wins.

pbWins rankings are 100% accurate to the data in DUPR. We pull match history directly from official DUPR profiles every hour. If your DUPR profile is up-to-date, your pbWins stats will be accurate.
