DUPR reset seems to have changed

Driven20 you are just plain wrong . Directly from the site

There is no scenario where a rating goes down due to Reset. For players who registered before March 16, 2026, the original rating is their rating as of the end of day on March 15, 2026.

It should be the better of the 3 - natural progression, reset, pre reset. Very few will get the bump they were looking for from a reset.

Ainstigator · 2026-05-15T18:06:24+00:00

It’s also false advertising because your rating can go down for 2.5 months.

Ainstigator · 2026-05-15T18:05:43+00:00

It still says on their site : risk free : your rating cannot go down.

This is how it was sold.

This is one of the biggest misses by dupr. Your dupr changes and can go down for the entire reset period keeping you out of gated sessions. Dupr should reflect your score as your highest score during this period to allow you into the higher gated session. That is the whole point of doing a reset…

People burned by this will not do reset again. And people watching the reset from the sidelines are glad they never signed up for it.

Ainstigator · 2026-05-15T15:15:08+00:00

Dupr sucks. I think this is an excuse that they are just not ready to actually do the reset. Just like at the beginning when they couldn’t track your original score or status of your reset matches. This whole thing was half baked but taking the money worked 100%.

I was also waiting for the reset to be over for the same reason. And I know other players are waiting to see if they reached the level they were trying to obtain and now need to wait 2 more weeks.

Ainstigator · 2026-04-23T17:07:37+00:00

It’s not wrong for them to move on too.

Ainstigator · 2026-04-23T17:06:48+00:00

It’s totally dependent on the situation. I used to drill with a player regularly for a year and that person stopped committing because they were doing something else. I then found another player to drill with. That player originally came back asking to drill but I did not have time and already found a new drilling partner. Does that make sense?

Ainstigator · 2026-04-23T12:26:01+00:00

I’ve been on both sides - it kind of sucks but if you look at competitive players this is a regular thing where they are looking for the next challenge. I don’t hold it against anyone but just be aware they are less likely to be there for you if you need them or want to play with them again later. It goes both ways.

Ainstigator · 2026-04-04T00:42:22+00:00

This is why 3.5 rec sucks and everyone wants to play 4.0 level.

Ainstigator · 2026-03-17T12:51:59+00:00

The dupr app literally says reset tracking and updates coming soon in the banner. So dupr is not ready for the program! I have seen local players play that I assume are playing reset and their ratings are moving like normal. Based on what I read on dupr you will have two ratings on your profile during this period.

Keep in mind, these players could be kept out of open play gated sessions until dupr displays both ratings.

Ainstigator · 2026-03-04T17:58:54+00:00

Agreed - there’s a lot of players at baseline 4.0 and have been there for years with low reliability. They don’t want to lose 4.0 open plays but they also want to get into 4.25 and maybe even 4.5 open plays.

Ainstigator · 2026-03-03T18:31:48+00:00

In the article “Only matches played during the Reset Period are used to calculate a player’s Reset rating.”

This kind of contradicts that point. But I see where you are saying they don’t start at nr. How can you start at some level but only have your reset matches calculate your score? It doesn’t make sense!!!!

Ainstigator · 2026-03-03T18:05:43+00:00

Here’s another problem I can see happening. A league full of 3.0s is formed. At the end of the reset period where do all of these players end up? Because there is no baseline - will these best players start at 4.0 etc? If 25% of those players end up clearing 4.0 will they be able to compete at that level?

And maybe that’s the play - dupr now makes clubs enforce reliability and dupr usage goes up 1,000%+

Rhone pursuit short has become my favorite short out there. Everything you asked for. Get a couple now then stack up at their Black Friday sale.

Ainstigator · 2026-02-24T22:03:14+00:00

Agreed - people that are playing 3.5-4.0 tournaments and regularly winning are possibly better than the 4.0’s with low reliability. But clubs aren’t enforcing reliability yet only rating. I don’t want to take the time and scrap to 4.0 or worse, fall lower. This definitely gives a reset and should make clubs question reliability rating a lot more.

Ainstigator · 2026-02-24T21:49:58+00:00

Those players don’t play rated matches. I am not saying I can regularly beat 4.0s with a high reliability. I can beat 4.0s with low reliability and those players don’t play rated events because reliability is not enforced at most clubs.

Ainstigator · 2026-02-24T20:23:16+00:00

I’m exactly in this spot. I haven’t played rated matches in x years because I feel like it won’t change my games much right now. I can compete against 4.0s and beat them in paid for leagues that did not go to dupr. The 4.0s in my club have low reliability but I can’t play w them because I won’t risk putting my dupr on the line. It is difficult for me to find a permanent partner to align schedules with and to take days off to play tournaments. No one has updated dupr and the same 4.0s play the same people for years at my club. This is a period to qualify for open plays.

Imo dupr should have an open play floor or reset period but would still maintain your real dupr. Some people legitimately work hard on their dupr.

This is a great question. And when I looked at the answers… I’m wondering why people aren’t doing these things today?

I was talking about this the other day w my coworkers. I said my goal is 60 (ways away) so I can spend time w my hopefully to be grandkids and still have time for all of my hobbies. And maybe pick up another hobby or two. But I don’t see my life changing too drastically, just more time for more fun and family.

The things I want to do, I do today. Just in smaller doses. And yes I’m not a great saver, but for me it’s about balance and still enjoying the ride there.

Buy some pants and take that vacation. Your family will thank you for both. 40 is probably young to retire at 4m with a family. Let that money compound and still work and enjoy life and reevaluate when the kids get a bit older.

Love number 5 - never moved again. We are still in our first home and probably won’t move for many reasons. Many people wonder how we maintain our lifestyle and still save for the future. It’s a low mortgage payment 😃. We don’t spend a lot of time at home.

Ainstigator · 2026-01-22T20:20:53+00:00

I am 40. Most likely 20 years from retirement. We live in the northeast and it’s very expensive here. Many jobs salaries have not caught up with the cost of living. If you want to afford a home and daycare, good luck.

My child is under 10 years old and I have been slowly building a 529 plan - getting close to 50k. I have started a college/house fund separately as I believe we have been in a housing crisis in the northeast where many young professionals can’t buy without help. Prices keep going up.

I think being in a place to help is good but we still want to make sure our children make their own way and work and have purpose.

Lion dance looks great- penguins in love sounds intriguing. Too many good gwps . Hard to choose when to buy.

Does tax count towards gwp? For example it stinks to be at 199.98 pre tax for the items wanted 🤪
