Pickleball Rating and Statistics: How They Are Worked Out
The LeagueOrbit pickleball rating, and the pickleball numbers in My stats: matches and games won, points per game, and rallies won on serve and on return.
The names and results shown are made up (the Maple Street Pool League is a demo organization).
In Pickleball, My stats shows only pickleball: your pickleball rating and your pickleball record. Your numbers in other sports are kept apart.
The LeagueOrbit pickleball rating
Everyone starts at 500 with their first pickleball singles game in a league or tournament on LeagueOrbit. Each singles game then moves it, by the games won and lost and the gap between the two ratings, the same way LeagueOrbit's other ratings work. My stats lists each change with the opponent and the score.
- Doubles games don't move it.
- It is separate from your ratings in other sports, and other sports never move it.
- It is LeagueOrbit's own rating, not DUPR. If you have a DUPR rating, you can type it as your own number when a tournament seeds by rating.
The rating also shows on a player's card in Pickleball.
Your record
Your record comes from your pickleball league nights (once the match sheet is final) and from the matches you add yourself:
- Matches won and lost, from your league nights and from matches you recorded.
- Games won and lost.
Points and rallies
Games scored rally by rally on the pickleball scoreboard also give:
| Number | How it's worked out | |---|---| | Points per game | Your points divided by the games scored rally by rally | | Point difference per game | Your points minus your opponents' points, divided by those games | | Rallies won | Rallies your side won, out of every rally played | | Won on serve | Rallies your side won while serving, out of the rallies it served | | Won on return | Rallies your side won while receiving, out of the rallies it received |
In doubles, these numbers count for the team: every rally counts for both partners. Games entered only as won or lost count in your record but not in these numbers.
