How rating
& ranking work

Every match feeds one number — your rating. Here's how it's built, and how it sets your place on the board.


The Scale

Seven levels, one scale

Ratings run 0 to 7. Tap a level to see what it takes.

0.0–0.9Rookie

Complete beginner. Needs basic instruction to play. Typically 1–5 matches, or no racquet-sport background. Learning grip, ready position, and where to stand.

1.0–1.9Warm-Up

Can hit normal forehands and backhands. Some racquet-sport background, typically 5–10 padel matches. Ball goes over, rallies are short, glass is still an obstacle rather than a tool.

2.0–2.9First ServeLeaderboard

Typically 20+ matches. Sustains rallies, understands positioning, uses the back glass.

2.0–2.5 · First Serve — rallies are survival. Returns the ball but doesn't choose where it goes. Back glass works when the bounce is friendly. Volleys are blocked, not directed.
2.6–2.9 · First Serve+ — rallies with intent. Starts constructing points, plays the back glass off both wings, controls the volley. Knows they should be at the net but can't always hold it.
3.0–4.0Break PointLeaderboard

Typically 50+ matches, a year or more of play, or inter-level competition in another racquet sport. Net play, communication, long rallies, smashes.

3.0–3.5 · Break Point — attempts the bandeja, lands it in easy situations. Holds the net when the lob is short. Calls "mine" and "yours." Backhand off the wall is functional.
3.6–4.0 · Break Point+ — bandeja is repeatable, not lucky. First víbora appears. Reads the lob early and moves back without panicking. Wins the net and keeps it for more than one shot.
4.1–4.9Match PointLeaderboard

Typically 100+ matches, two-plus years of consistent play, or a competitive background in another racquet sport. Bandeja is a genuine holding shot, used to keep the net rather than survive at it. Víbora with direction and spin, played on purpose. Chiquita used deliberately to force a weak volley. Comfortable playing out of the corner off double glass. Understands the transition zone. Wins and loses the net as a pair by design. Competitive in local tournaments.

5.0–5.9Golden Point

Competes at state or national level. Full smash arsenal — bandeja, víbora, rulo, por tres off the side wall, por cuatro attempted. Defends from the back using the glass as a weapon rather than a bailout. Reads the weaker opponent and weaker wing within a few games and targets it. Runs pre-agreed patterns with a regular partner, including serve signals. Trains under a coach. Padel-specific physical preparation. Error rate stays low under pressure.

6.0–7.0Championship

National champion, international circuit, or FIP-ranked. Complete arsenal at full pressure, with tempo as a tactical choice rather than a reaction. Periodised professional preparation. Padel is the occupation.

How It Works

From points to rank

Tap any step to see how it's worked out.

Americano — points come from where you finish:

121st
102nd
83rd
64th
55th
36th
27th
18th+

Never below 1 · a no-show is −2.

Tournament — points come from the round you win:

1Group win
3Semi win
5Final win

A loss earns 0.

Score = Tournament × 3 + Americano × 1.5

Your total match points, weighted so tournaments count most.

Rating = your base + three bonuses, capped at your league and rounded to one decimal.

Base blends your self rating (your score standing) with your match rating (how you rank vs others) — 60/40 in First Serve, 70/30 in Break Point.

FAQ

Common questions

How often does it update?

After every session. Your new rating and rank appear within 24 hours of your match.

What's the difference between Score and Rating?

Score is your raw total match points. Rating turns that into your level (the decimal) — and rating is what your rank and league are based on.

Two players have the same rating — who ranks higher?

The one with the higher Score. If score is also equal, they share the same rank.

Can I move up a league?

Yes. When your rating crosses into the next band, you move up. It's based on sustained performance and reviewed by the DPC team.
