Is DUPR Dead? Mike Barker's VAIR Rating System Might Just Bury It Guest: Mike Barker, Founder of VAIR

Host Curtis Reese sits down with entrepreneur and former semi-pro football player, Mike Barker, the brain behind VAIR (Visually Assisted International Rating system), which is shaking up the world of competitive pickleball ratings.

In this episode, Barker explains why he launched VAIR, a next-generation system that aims to eliminate the "Wild West" nature of current pickleball ratings. Unlike systems based solely on wins and losses, VAIR uses a Visually Assisted and AI-powered approach to calculate a player's actual skill level by taking into account factors like gender and age to create fairer matchups.

The Hook: Discover why a win won't always raise your rating and how VAIR is designed to combat "sandbagging"—players intentionally playing below their skill level—to ensure a more enjoyable and competitive experience for everyone.
