Boise Clinics-7

 

“I’ve attended clinics by many good pros at major tourneys across the country.  But, none were better than last year’s clinic in Boise by the great Scott Moore, 16 time National Champion & 6 time Triple Crown Winner.  And, now Treasure Valley has the opportunity to learn from Scott’s two sons, Daniel and Jon, who are rapidly following in Scott’s footsteps!  Daniel is a 9 time Major Open Champion and the 2015 Co-Player of the Year with his Dad, Scott.   He is a world class Pro player, IPTPA Certified Instructor, and has taught highly successful clinics in Japan, Spain, France, Mexico, and throughout the US.  He also co-founded and manages Pickleball Trips, a company taking players to world-class destinations around the world.  Jon, though playing competitively for only 6 months, has medaled in 4.5 and 5.0 tournament since he started, has joined the Moores pickleball businesses, and, I predict, will soon be winning Gold medals at the Majors, too.  Just like last year, I will be one of the first to sign up for this fantastic & unique clinic opportunity for Idaho and highly recommend it to others.  I will be taking detailed notes and absorbing every word because I’ve learned that just one thing learned from world-class players and teachers like the Moores can greatly improve your ability and tournament success”.

Keep in mind:

• UTPRs are based on tournament results that have been entered into PickleballTournaments.com over the past three years.
• UTPRs are more accurate than subjective self-ratings or tournament director ratings.
• The UTPR is not meant to be a ranking of players. Rankings will be available later this year.
• The UTPR may be used in USAPA sanctioned tournaments for seeding events. This will result in more accurate seeding. PickleballTournaments.com will have auto seeding available later this year.

• Sanctioned tournament directors will have access to member players 4-digit ratings through PickleballTournaments.com.
• Non-sanctioned tournament directors will not be able to view the 4-digit or 2-digit skill ratings but will be able to purchase the auto seeding feature in the near future.

• A players UTPR may have age bias if he/she only participates in specific age categories.

• A players UTPR may have a regional bias if he/she only participates in local events.
• The more tournament matches you play going forward, the more the ratings will self-correct and become more accurate.
• We will continue to refine the UTPR system for increased accuracy.
• If you have not done so, please review the FAQ for all the details. Changes may be made to the FAQ over time as appropriate or because of adjustments to the rating algorithm or tournament procedures.
