About BDR

Built for Philippine pickleball

BackDoor Rating turns verified local match results into a clearer public player profile.

BDR brings the current rating, reliability, playing history, and permanent player identity together so players can follow their progress and organizers can make better-informed placement decisions.

What a BDR profile shows

A public profile may include the player’s current numeric BDR, reliability, rating status, record, rated games, category, and complete verified BDR history with exact per-result movement. Numeric category targets, opponent-rating averages, and the proprietary formula remain protected.

For players

BDR gives every player a visible competitive history that becomes more useful as additional approved games are recorded.

For organizers

BDR supports category review and helps reduce hidden playing history and sandbagging. It is a decision-support tool—not a replacement for organizer judgment, scouting, or event rules.

What BDR does not claim

BDR is not a government or national governing-body designation. It is an independent pickleball rating platform built for players, clubs, events, and organizers in the Philippines. Its category targets and proprietary rating formula are not publicly disclosed.
