Pickleball Player Rating System
Pickleball Canada (PCO) and United States of America Pickleball Association (USAPA) have implemented the International Federation of Pickleball (IFP) Rating system. This allows players to have the same player ratings in both Canada and the USA.

IFP Rating System documentation.
PCO can post official IFP player ratings for our members on the IFP website http://ipickleball.org for players who may play in skill rated tournaments in the USA/Canada. Contact PCO www.pickleballcanada.org if you want your official IFP player rating included in the Player Ratings List (USA & Canada) on the IFP website. Your initial self rating must be approved by a PCO Ambassador, tournament director or rating committee. Your "S" self rating may be changed to a "T" Tournament Rating based on tournament results.
Rating Types:
S - Self Rating: A non-rated player may establish a rating in a rated tournament. However, this is always subject to the Tournament Director’s approval. If you are unrated, you may enter the rating division of your choice based on your ability relative to other players that you know.
T - Tournament Rating: Player has been rated based upon tournament performance. Rating may also be based upon the opinions of Tournament Directors or tournament players.
C - Club Rating:The following link goes to the USAPA site and provides one page skill assessment sheets for the following skill levels: 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0. These can give assistance and a method for local clubs rating committees to help rate players. They have been compiled by a few “club” rating committees for use in assigning internal club skill ratings.These sheets are not replacing the official USAPA/IFP skill level definitions. Rather, players can also use these sheets to determine what particular skills they need to work on.
Skill assessment sheets.
Ratings Note: (January 2019)
The USAPA has instituted a new match-based tournament ratings system. For more information/frequently asked questions visit the USAPA Tournament Ratings FAQ page.
