Your level, earned on court

Your experience matters

When you enter a new category, PGR uses your earlier matches cautiously. Your position is still earned only through results in that category.

Level 1.0-7.0

The one-decimal level makes progress between two named levels easy to follow after each match.

Three separate rankings

Men, Women and Mixed matches only update the category in which they were played. A Mixed result never changes your Men or Women position.

A clear category for every match

At your first Ranked result, the app asks for your sporting category. Each match is then placed correctly before it counts toward the ranking.

You were expected to win, so your rating ticks up only a little. Easy wins will not carry you to the top.

A surprise win is worth more: you beat a team considered stronger, so your level rises more.

A narrow loss to a team well above you says something good about your game, and it can lift you.

When the result sharply contradicts your rating, the correction matches it. The system reflects what happens on court, not reputation.

The score counts, not just the win

The game difference counts: a clear win tells a different story from one decided in tiebreaks, even though both are wins.

Short matches carry less weight

A quick set says less than a full match, so it changes your level less.

Your first matches carry more weight

Your first Ranked matches move the rating a lot, because the system is still figuring you out. The more you play, the more it settles and the more precise it gets.

Everyone starts from the same place

Everyone starts under the same rules. In a new category, earlier experience is only a starting point; your position is earned through results in that category.

Your named level appears once it is earned

Your named level only becomes visible after enough confirmed matches. Until then, the system would rather stay quiet than show an uncertain level.

Breaks don't demote you

If you stop playing for a while, your level doesn't drop, but your first matches back count more. Nothing beats playing regularly.

Score confirmed by everyone

No result enters the ranking without the agreement of every player in the match. A made-up score dies at the first missing confirmation.

Separate disciplines, separate positions

Padel and tennis, singles and doubles have independent PGRs. Men, Women and Mixed matches also have separate competitive rankings; a Mixed result never changes a Men or Women position.

No self-declared level

Your level is not picked from your profile: no one can start out as Expert. Your 1 to 7 level is earned solely from confirmed Ranked matches.

Daily growth limits

Your rating can only climb at a healthy pace in a single day. Artificial match marathons will not catapult you to the top.

Repeat matches carry less weight

Matches played over and over against the same opponents gradually count less. Repeating the same results cannot create an artificial advantage.

The rules apply equally to everyone

Every confirmed result is evaluated under the same principles, regardless of player or club.

The same matches give the same result

The ranking follows the real order in which matches were played, regardless of when scores are confirmed.

Corrections update the ranking automatically

If a result is corrected or voided, the ranking is recalculated from the remaining matches.

Final results

Once every player confirms, the result becomes final and can no longer be changed or deleted to sway a rating. If an invalid match is discovered later, it can be voided, and the ranking is recomputed correctly from the remaining matches.
