I've suspected that my TV rating wouldn't hold up well against the general population outside of TV. Hopefully, I'll get a chance this summer to see how my DUPR rating holds up when I am up north in the Canandaigua-Rochester area.
As the DUPR process matures, if I play DUPR rated events up north, then I'll be bringing that experience with me, reflected in my DUPR rating next season in TV, along with folks who travelled home to Boston, Chicago, etc etc and eventually we may have enough interaction with "The Outside World" to have our DUPR ratings be more relevant outside of TV.

Ratings would be fine as soon as they have age group events. In USTA tennis, you have one rating but you can play in seniors group 55 and over, 65 etc.
I'm sure with the incredible
Speedy growth of pickleball, that will eventually happen
as well. So most villagers playing in tournaments outside the Villages will be able to choose senior tournament just like the Senior games except more like USTA tennis where
Both rating and age is separated (54+ 3.5, 4.0 singles, doubles etc)
