Phoenix, AZ —Wednesday, April 15, 2026— Sporfie, the sports technology platform built around video capture, and DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating), the world’s most widely adopted pickleball rating system, today announced a partnership that connects match video with player ratings. The integration will allow Sporfie users to link their DUPR account directly within the Sporfie app, submit match results for official DUPR rating updates, and include match video alongside their score submissions.
For the millions of pickleball players who already rely on DUPR to track their skill level, this partnership removes friction from one of the sport’s most important workflows: getting rated. Instead of toggling between apps and manually entering results, players on Sporfie will be able to play, record, and submit — all in one place.
When players use Sporfie to record a match and enter scores through the in-video scoreboard, they’ll be able to push those results directly to DUPR for an official rating update — with match video attached. No app-switching. No re-entering data. Just one seamless workflow from court to rating.
“DUPR is the standard for how pickleball players measure themselves. What Sporfie adds is video — whether captured using our mobile app or through our installed fixed cameras, match footage can now travel with every submission, turning a score into a complete picture of how that match was played.”
— Sami Karoui, CEO and Founder, Sporfie
"Video-backed submissions are a major step forward for the integrity of ratings. By connecting performance directly to real match footage, we’re adding a new layer of trust and transparency to the system. This not only strengthens the accuracy of DUPR, but also opens the door to a more scalable and inclusive future for player ratings worldwide."
— Tito Machado, CEO, DUPR
Availability: The integration will be available to Sporfie users by July 1, 2026.
