Your player profile

Gender, skill level, DUPR and zip code, and what each one changes: your starting rating, which formats can seat you, who you find nearby.

Oct 12, 2026 — Paul Stroud

Your player profile is set up when you join and edited on your profile page. Each field changes something in Picklemix.

The fields

  • Gender: needed to be seated or invited on a gender-mixed format. 8 Player Gender Mixed Rotate Partner RR places men and women in groups, and a Mixed team match needs a woman on every team. Without a gender set, you are not invited to those, and the organizer is told why.
  • Skill Level and DUPR Rating: set your starting ArpadZsum rating. DUPR rating is used if you give one, then your skill level, otherwise 3.0.
  • DUPR ID and Date of Birth: recorded on your profile.
  • Zip Code: optional. With it, Friends sorts players near you by distance.

Enable ratings for my events

  • This decides whether events you create are rated. Drills are never rated. It does not change whether an event someone else runs rates you.

How we reach you

  • Email notifications about your events, SMS to the phone number you give, and WhatsApp, each one its own opt-in.

Next step

Set a gender before joining a mixed event. The join and the invitation both check it.
