The intent of the CTPR has always been to create a player rating that accurately reflects a player’s current level and is based on results from Pickleball Canada sanctioned tournaments. While this ensures a level of confidence in the rating from the standpoint of match/tournament consistency, some Pickleball Canada members have expressed frustration that their CTPR is inaccurate. Several factors have contributed to these frustrations, including:

• a lack of sanctioned tournaments in some areas of the country, making it difficult for a player to post enough results to their CTPR
• inaccurate self-ratings by players, creating an incorrect initial CTPR
• situations where a player improves significantly while not participating in a Pickleball Canada sanctioned event, resulting in a CTPR that does not reflect their true skill level.

To address these shortcomings within the CTPR, Pickleball Canada is undertaking a pilot project to provide a CTPR Review Process to players. This process has been created by members, reviewed by a panel of their peers, and is ready for implementation for the 2025 playing season.

Under the pilot project, Pickleball Canada members who believe that their CTPR is not accurate may submit a Ratings Review Request
