Everything you want to know about PadelGod

The app for padel players: organize matches, keep score (including on Apple Watch), get a real competitive ranking, play tournaments and track your progress. It works globally, in any country.

It is completely free. Every feature (ranking, tournaments, matchmaking, Apple Watch, social feed) is available at no cost.

On iPhone and Apple Watch through the App Store, on Android through Google Play, and on the web at padelgod.ro, using the same account.

No. PadelGod is not a booking platform. Anyone, anywhere, can create an account and start playing right away.

Romanian and English, switchable at any time. The watch automatically follows your phone's language.

Yes. Scoring also supports tennis (sets, tiebreak), with a ranking computed separately per sport.

You create an open match or join one nearby. You get an alert when a match pops up near you (around a 15 km radius, optional and with quiet hours).

From the near-me list of open matches and from push notifications when someone is looking for a fourth player in your area.

With a single tap on "Join". The organizer can require approval or leave joining open.

There is a reputation system, reports and a fair-play gate. You can report and block players who behave badly.

Individual or fixed-team Americano and Mexicano, plus King of the Court. Team Americano can include a championship finale, while individual Americano and Mexicano can end with a Top 4 or Top 8 final.

Automatically. Americano writes the full schedule at the start; Mexicano and King of the Court generate rounds dynamically. Standings update on every score, and Americano/Mexicano rank by points won, point difference, then wins.

Yes. You can add guests or invite players who have accounts, and anyone who does not get a spot joins the reserves list and is promoted automatically when a spot opens up.

In individual Mexicano you can add late players on the fly; they enter from the next round without affecting completed play. Fixed-team formats and King of the Court do not accept adding a single player after the start.

Yes, optionally: the timer starts automatically with round one and resets for every new round, synced across your phone, the players' phones and TV mode. It supports preset or custom intervals and an end alarm; the organizer can stop or restart it.

No. Tournaments are social and fully separate from the competitive ranking, so you can have fun without pressure on your rating.

PGR v3 is a hierarchical Glicko-2-family model adapted for doubles, score and evidence quality. It keeps an Overall Skill and distinct Men, Women and Mixed competitive ratings; it does not simply accumulate points.

No. A symmetric Mixed match updates only Mixed PGR and, at reduced weight, Overall skill. Men and Women ladders are fed exclusively by their own match contexts.

Only matches marked "Ranked" (competitive), with players who have accounts. "Friendly" matches do not affect your rating.

Based on your opponents and the result: beating stronger players moves you up more, and the system also factors in how confident it is about your level.

Visual thresholds on top of the rating, so you can see at a glance where you stand and how far you are from the next level.

After at least 6 matches in that context and once rating uncertainty falls below the confidence threshold. Until then, the app shows calibration progress rather than a premature position.

Through anti-abuse rules, verification and score confirmation by both teams. Disputed scores are frozen until resolved.

Not in the current Workout app type list. Apple recommends “Other” when you cannot find a matching type. “Other” tracks a generic activity, but it does not keep padel score.

For a generic Apple workout, open Workout, choose Add Workout, then Other. For padel scoring, install PadelGod on iPhone and its companion Apple Watch app, then start the match in PadelGod.

Yes, through the PadelGod Apple Watch app. You get scoring on your wrist, phone sync, and can continue the match without taking your iPhone out of your pocket.

Heart rate, calories, effort zones and real heart-rate recovery (HRR) during the match.

Yes. The watch keeps the score and syncs it automatically when the phone comes back in range.

Apple currently offers no Padel category in the catalog used by this integration. PadelGod shows the match as Padel inside the app, but records the HealthKit session under Tennis, so Apple Fitness may display Tennis.

You post text, photos or match results, with likes, comments (with replies and reactions) and bilingual notifications for your friends.

You manage your profile, match visibility and account data, and your information can be edited or deleted at any time.

Yes, on padelgod.ro: profile, matches, ranking and tournaments, using the exact same account as on your phone.
