One of the big questions people ask is “what skill level or rating am I?” Or what skill level should I enter in a tournament. Here are a 2 documents that can help you determine your skill level. One is from the USAPA and the other is a self rating flowchart from the Pickleball Guru, Prem Carnot.
The USAPA Tournament Rating System went into effect in 2018/2019 and will effect how you will be able to register for sanctioned tournaments. Here are some Tournament Rating System FAQ’s.
USAPA 2019 Skill Level Definitions:

A simple Yes/No path to finding your rating. This is a little older (2016), but gives you a great way to start to determine your rating. Thanks to Prem Carnot. Please visit his site: Pickleball Guru for more information.

would like to play some pick up games- is there a contact group?
@ Tom, We use the Doodle link on the homepage to make people aware of the schedueld play, times and locations. Be glad to have you drop by and play any of the times listed. If you plan on attending, pls sign up through Doodle if possible (instructions are on the site). If you are unable, you can just drop in, although there may be some cancellations for rain, etc. If you are in the area and want to join the club, we will sometimes have people who contact each other for pickup games based on levels of play.
