— THE 3.5 TIER SYSTEM —

|BETTER MATCHES 
|BETTER GAMES
|BETTER PICKLEBALL

Not all 3.5 players play at the same level, and that’s exactly why we created the Tier System!

Our Tier System takes the guesswork out of finding competitive, well-matched games by grouping players based on their actual playing ability, consistency, and overall performance—not just a rating number.

With three progressive tiers, players enjoy more balanced competition, longer rallies, less frustration, and a clear pathway to improving their game.

It’s not about separating players. It’s about bringing the right players together.

Whether you’re developing your skills, building consistency, or pushing toward the next level, there’s a place for you to compete, improve, and have fun.

Our Tier System doesn’t replace DUPR. It simply makes everyday club play more enjoyable, competitive, and rewarding for everyone.

Because great pickleball starts with great matchups!

WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS — Each TIER is a stepping stone — and every player knows exactly what’s expected to level up!
