Episode 140: VAIR CEO Mike Barker
<p>This week's episode features a deep dive into DUPR killer VAIR with founder Mike Barker, who discusses the frustrations that led him to create a new approach to ratings. We unpack what VAIR is, how it works, and why it was built to tackle some of the biggest issues in the sport, from sandbagging and bad matchups to the growing distrust around rating systems. There’s also plenty of debate about how VAIR compares with DUPR and whether VAIR could genuinely become a serious challenger in the short and medium term. A must listen for all pickleballers!</p>
