Finding DUPR-rated tournaments in Southeast Asia just got easier. Sports Control Hub, a Singapore-based tournament management platform built for organizers across Southeast Asia, has named DUPR its official rating system.
Under the partnership, DUPR is integrated into Sports Control Hub as the official rating system. It connects player ratings, tournament registration, category placement, match results and rated-event reporting in a single tournament workflow. Organizers in Singapore, the Philippines and the wider region now have a direct path to running DUPR-rated tournaments. Players get more chances to earn a recognized rating through competition closer to home.
Why fair divisions start with real ratings
Every tournament organizer knows the problem. Players sign up and pick a skill level, then the bracket falls apart the moment someone sandbags or overestimates their game.
"The hardest part of running a fair tournament isn't just the scheduling, it's levelling. With DUPR as our official rating system, every player comes in with a rating that reflects their actual match results."
— Jherome Escueta, Founder, Sports Control Hub
How Sports Control Hub powers tournaments
Sports Control Hub is designed for organizers who want to run professional-grade events without a large operations team. The platform covers the full life of a tournament:
- Registration, categories and pools
- Scheduling that can be built ahead of time and adjusted on site as the day unfolds
- Live scoring on court
- Real-time scores and standings on venue screens, so players and spectators always know where things stand
- Automated rankings and club management
How DUPR-rated tournaments work on Sports Control Hub
With DUPR integrated as the official rating system, organizers can set up DUPR-rated tournaments directly in Sports Control Hub. Player DUPR ratings are pulled in at registration. Results from DUPR-rated events are submitted to DUPR, so player ratings update after the tournament.
Through the integration, Sports Control Hub now supports:
- DUPR-rated tournament setup within Sports Control Hub
- Player DUPR ratings pulled at registration to support accurate levelling and category placement
- Match results submission from Sports Control Hub to DUPR for rated events
- Club integration, connecting clubs managed on Sports Control Hub with their DUPR club presence
A globally recognized rating, closer to home
Pickleball is growing rapidly across Southeast Asia, but until now many players in the region have had limited access to DUPR-rated competition. With the partnership, the DUPR-rated tournaments players enter through Sports Control Hub count toward their official DUPR rating. It's the same rating used by clubs, leagues and tournaments around the world.
For organizers, the partnership removes the friction of running a rated event. Ratings come in at registration, divisions are levelled against a trusted standard, and results flow back to DUPR without manual work.
"Our goal with Sports Control Hub has always been to make running a high-quality tournament dramatically simpler. DUPR adds an important layer to that vision."
— Paul Tolentino, Co-Founder, Sports Control Hub
