Player - How to Change/Appeal my Rating

Created by Brandon S, Modified on Mon, Apr 1 at 3:30 PM by Brandon S

When you first signed up for a pickleballbrackets.com account, you are asked to add a starting rating for Gender Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Singles and Skinny Singles.


In some cases, players find out after their initial setup that they have incorrectly listed themselves and need to change their ratings.  Below are different scenarios for how to have your ratings effectively changed.


I set my self-rating too high and need to change it.  I have NOT completed a tournament yet.


A players self-rating can be easily changed by the player if they have no official tournament results. Your first step is to sign into your account, and then in the upper right-hand corner, select "my profile" from the drop-down menu under your name.  Scroll down to the "Self-Rating" section and change your ratings to your desired starting rating.  Once completed, select the green "Save Profile" button, and you are all set to starting signing up for tournaments.


I set my self-rating too high and signed up for a tournament, but the tournament hasn't taken place yet.  How do I change it?


Follow the steps above to officially change your self-rating.  Once changed, contact the tournament directly and ask them to "update my ratings" for the tournament.  Once that is completed, you will be able to edit your registration to the new rated events.  See article (Player - How to Edit my Registration" if you need assistance in changing events)



I set my self-rating way too high and played in a tournament.  I didn't win any games and now I have an official rating at a level I cannot compete at.
