It's just part of this sport, but people that are entering tournaments that way in order to specifically manipulate the algorithm in their favor, what do you say to that?
40:11
Listen, I think that there is a lot of myth about, about this whole concept.
40:16
So when we look at, like, our data, I, I grew up and I see this post on, on Reddit, on Facebook, and it's, it's just, it's just not, not the truth of what the data is actually reflecting.
40:25
And, and I think we need to do a better job, job, like, showing this.
40:28
For example, and I'm gonna come back to your point, but I hear this metric on, on the forum all the time, "Well, I won a tournament and my DUPR went down," or, "I won this and my DUPR went down." You know, actually only, like, 15% of the players who win go down out of the total population of matches.
40:43
No one knows the metric, right? So 85% of the wins, you go up w- on DUPR.
40:49
So just to give you a little bit of, a little bit of the myth busters that we get with DUPR and how these narratives get created, and, uh, it's crazy because I know this is a niche in pickleball and we all talk about this.

I wanna circle to the future a little bit and I want to ask you about the new features that are coming, you mentioned there's other ones coming, and to tell us a little bit about how you're integrating AI into the future features and what that impact is gonna look like for us as players as well.
