Overview of DUPR Ratings or Custom Ratings

The PodPlay system allows for two types of ratings inside a Customer’s Profile:

• A Custom Ratings

• Or a DUPR Ratings

When a Club chooses to use the Custom Ratings option, any Admin can enter in a numerical value inside the Customer’s Profile

• This numerical value is a static value and does not change unless an Admin goes into the Customer’s Profile and changes the value

To connect with the DUPR ranking system:

• A Customer will click on the DUPR Rating button in the Account tab of the app

• Once the Customer has connected their DUPR account, the DUPR Rating button will show a “Live” flag

There are two aspects to the ranking system connection:

• First, the Read function allows PodPlay to connect with a DUPR account through Auth0

  • It reads the DUPR account of the Customer and pulls their ranking or rating into their PodPlay account

• Second is the Write function, which will copy the Scoreboard results after a match or game and send it to the ranking system for historical accuracy

  • If everyone in the match or game has a DUPR profile, PodPlay will be able to send the Scoreboard results to the DUPR system and automatically update the ratings of those players involved in the game

  • If someone in the match or game does not have a DUPR account connected, the DUPR system will not know what to do with the information and will not record the results, so the DUPR Challenge Match will not be functional

An Admin can then set a required rating during the Event creation flow

• They will set the rating requirements, which will mean that any Customer who does not meet the minimum rating will not be allowed to join the Event
