UTRSports.net now offers two types of events for players -- Pickleball Events and Verified Pickleball Events.
First, let's talk about Pickleball Events:
- Pickleball Events count any & all match results, including casual play.
- Players can compete & practice without affecting their Verified UTRs.
- Players can post their own scores at UTR Sports to count toward their pickleball rating.
- Providers have more format flexibility.
Now let's talk about Verified UTR-P and Verified Pickleball Events:
- Verified UTR-P only counts results from Verified Pickleball Events.
- To run Verified Pickleball Events, providers need to be approved as Verified UTR Providers. Providers can apply for verified approval by selecting Create An Event on their club page and clicking the Verification Toggle found in Step 1: Format of Create An Event.
- Verified Providers must also follow the Verified UTR Event Rules while conducting Verified Pickleball Events.
Now that you know the difference between the two events, get out there and play!
