Pickleball TayoHow the Tayo Rating works
One number from 2.0 to 8.0 that says how you play doubles today. It moves after every recorded game, more when the result surprises us.
What the number means
The stars next to a player show their level: one for a Beginner, six for an Expert. Hover over them for the exact rating.
New players choose a starting skill level once when they sign up. This self-assessment sets a provisional Tayo Rating, not an official DUPR rating. Recorded games adjust it over time; doubles and singles are rated separately. Starting levels and stored DUPR ratings cannot be edited in settings.
How a match changes it
- Expected result comes from the gap between the two teams' average ratings.
- Actual result is mostly the win (70%) and partly your share of the points (30%), so 11–2 counts for more than 12–10.
- Weight is bigger while we're still learning your level and after time away, smaller once your rating is settled. Results entered as winner only move half as much.
- The same four players count for at most 6 games a day, and repeat games against the same pair within a week count a little less each time.
What counts
Games recorded by club staff in open play or tournaments. Games both teams confirm in the app.
What does not
Games nobody recorded. Games one team disputes until they are resolved. Drills and clinics.
Link your DUPR
The Tayo Rating is a community rating from everyday open play, not an official one. Add your DUPR ID in settings so clubs can export your games to DUPR, and so we can keep the two scales close.
