DUPR AMA and DUPR Origin Story

by The Dink Media Team on

Do ratings have to be hard?  

Find out for yourself this Monday LIVE during an “Ask us Anything” on all things ratings and DUPR, with Founder Steve Kuhn & CEO Jill Braverman, hosted by Thomas Shields from The Dink.

As pickleball participation grows meteorically, there are more and more rating-related questions and discussions happening in the Pickleball ecosystem. We want to help answer those questions, to be transparent and open about who we are and what we stand for, and how we're helping the global pickleball community.

You can submit any and all questions by registering for the webinar. Even if you can’t join us live, we’ll send you a personal message with the answer to your question. Or, you can post your questions below. The event will stream live at 10:00 PST/1:00 EST on Monday, April 11, 2022 on Zoom, Facebook, and Youtube. Go ahead, ask us anything. You can read the DUPR origin story here.
