I'm no fan of redefining level of play stratified by age, or even accepting ratings based on play from decades past. As we all age, our rating should slide backwards as we face the reality of slowing down. These people are very good for their age, but it would be a different match if they played 20 year olds with the same rating.
I'm Australian and while we are years behind the standard in the US I would call them solid 3.5 to 3.75. 4.0 being incredibly generous. I'm a 4.5 DUPR with a couple of hundred tournament games and I'm way better than these teams. I thought sandbagging was a thing in the US? Clearly not here 😊
@@jhsportyregardless of what system everyone who has played PB for years knows what standard you should be for different ratings. These guys are no way legit 5.5. I'm 4.0 in PB Brackets what would my UTR equate to? 6.5?
I’d give them 4.0 certainly….real bad call in that 3rd game by the taller gentleman. That ball was in …not even close. Lady partner looking right at it too and said nothing
Definitely NOT 5.5. If so, the lady in the yellow cap would not hold a constant position at the base line. Her partner is at the kitchen line and she is glued to the base line. Naturally, the other team is putting it at her feet.
really enjoyed this. great match with some talented players
Honest question, is this match a 3.5 or actually 5.5?
A good match but in no way a 5.5
great play, great game.
Wonderful. Thanks for showing matches at higher brackets. What camera do you use to shoot?? Thanks.
No fancy camera - just a smartphone. (Pixel 9 Pro)
@TeamHanlonPickleball try 60fps? Just a thought. A.

Nationals are UTR not DUPR ranking.

Good play by all, but the man in blue was just faster in preparation and delivery.

THIS IS THE NEW RATING SYSTEM?
Yes
Nationals are UTR Rated not DUPR.

Can’t be 5.5. Maybe 4-4.5 level.
3.75-4 max for me
Nationals are UTR ranking not DUPR. 5.5 UTR is about 4-4.5 DUPR
@@jhsportythey are not 4-4.5 Dupr either. No way
I appreciate their effort, still have they fun doing so?
Even the ol' Romans had a saying: Cogito ergo sum: I dink, therefore I am.😉
