The winners have a 5.2 DUPR rating and the opponents have a 4.8 and 5.1 DUPR. So sad they were playing in a 3.5 bracket. What a scam. I feel so bad for players in this bracket that were actually playing in their proper 3.5 skill level and lost to these ridiculous sandbaggers.

That is exactly why I would never pay the high prices to be in a tournament like this. I’m not about to get destroyed by people playing way below their skill level.

I don't understand how you could feel good about winning at this level when clearly the skill level is much higher than 3.5. Where is the honor in that. By the way, I love your videos. I always look for them.

This is not 3.5 players. Either the rating system is inadequate or we have sandbaggers. This needs to be fixed and the sooner the better. Also need to have better line calling in tournaments.

There were complaints all over about the ranking groups since Nationals was strictly using UTPR, which is only updated if you play in particular tournaments. They would not let people play in higher divisions based on their DUPR even if requested, so it is not the fault of the players sandbagging here, it is the tournament.

I definitely don’t want to play in tournaments if this is supposed to be 3.5! Pickleball needs to get the ratings system fixed. I’ve played USTA tennis for 20+ years & been to Nationals & the ratings are much closer to actual ability.

That's because the lowest DUPR in this game is a 4.88 the other 3 players are above 5.0. I think this tournament went by UTPR which maybe lower but yes this is a big problem at these lower brackets. I consider myself a decent 4.0 range player and these guys would kick my butt.

As others have mentioned, this tournament used UTPR ratings which are not accurate/up to date. Pretty sure they were not allowed to play up even if they wanted to.
