SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - eTradeWire -- Pickleball Individual Player Rating (PIPR) today announced that its skill-based rating and verification platform is now available to pickleball players and instructors worldwide.

PIPR enables players to complete a quick online assessment to establish an individual skills rating and receive a digital PIPR card. Each card includes a unique verification link that can be shared and confirmed online for leagues, open play, instruction, and tournaments.

The PIPR system focuses on individual skill, rules knowledge, and on-court competencies rather than relying solely on match outcomes. This approach is designed to reflect how a player actually performs, independent of partner performance or matchup variability common in doubles play.

Players may also choose to maintain or validate their rating through evaluations conducted by participating certified pickleball instructors using a standardized assessment framework.
