What the courts are telling us
PPA’s tour-facing points, DUPR’s rating, and PickleWave’s ELO-style comparison answer different questions. A pro can lead one table and sit elsewhere on another without the data being broken.
Why this shift matters for players and organizers
The editorial move is to show the provider next to the number, then explain the use: seeding, match finding, historical form, or fan conversation.
Practical takeaways from the field desk
• PPA / event points and tour context
• DUPR / player rating and match history
• ELO / independent comparison model
