League Skill Divisions

Honcho's Same-Partner Doubles League uses the Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR) system to help players identify the right skill division for their game. DUPR scores players between 2.0 and 8.0 based on match results, rating everyone — regardless of age, gender, or location — on the same scale.

DUPR shapes our division guidelines, but exact cutoffs aren't strictly enforced, and we know a score doesn't always tell the whole story. If you've been off the courts, recovering from an injury, or just feel like your game is in a different place than your rating reflects, check out how we describe different divisions on this page and use that to help find the best fit for your team. Honcho is all about community and asks everyone to register in good faith to keep the games competitive and fun for the whole league.

Division availability varies by venue, so start your registration to see what's offered at your location. If Same-Partner Doubles isn't available, you may find Ladder Leagues instead!

Beginner

If you're new-er to the sport and either don’t know what a DUPR rating is (learn more here!) or have a rating below 3.0, this is your battleground. While we welcome newbies, we expect all players to have played pickleball at least a handful of times and to understand the rules and scoring protocols! If you play less than once a week, this is likely the spot for you!

Intermediate

If you’re moving on up in the ranks with a DUPR rating that ranges between 3.0 - 3.5, this is your battleground. Iron sharpens iron and we know you’ll end the season sharper than ever! If you play 1-2 times per week, know how to consistently dink and know the strategy/approach of gameplay, this could be the spot for you!

Upper-Intermediate

If you’re moving on up in the ranks with a DUPR rating that ranges between 3.5 - 4.0, this is your battleground. Iron sharpens iron and we know you’ll end the season sharper than ever! If you play 2 times a week, know how to confidently dink, know how to drop, know the strategy/approach of gameplay, and know how to compete strategically in long rallies, this could be the spot for you!

Advanced

If you're DUPR rating is between 4.0 - 4.75 and you're here to compete against the best in your city, this is your battleground. If you play 3+ times a week, and know how to confidently and consistently dink and drop, know how to move in tandem with your partner, know how to go deep in rallies, and know how to think 3 shots ahead in order to set your team up for an opportunity, this could be the spot for you!
