Men's ladder ↗

Join the ladder

Your level

Read the descriptions and pick the one that sounds most like you. If you already have a Playtomic level, the matching number is shown. Honest is best: the ladder adjusts your rating from here, and you can change your level until your first result is in (New to padel, Beginner and Improver players can still move up after that, never down). For your first few games, everyone from Improver to Upper intermediate is mixed together until results sort the ladder out. New to padel and Beginner players are matched with each other only.

You will never be booked more than this. When courts are short, players with no game that week come first.

Courts you can get to
Ladder rules
  • All games are one hour.
  • Everyone arrives 10 minutes before the court time. The app's headline time is the arrival time; the court time is shown underneath. Two strikes in the same week (Saturday to Friday) and you will be removed from the ladder. A strike is being late to a game, not turning up, or, when you are the booker, not booking the court or not bringing the balls. Strikes start fresh every week.
  • The player nominated to book the court books it and confirms in the app by 4pm. Each of the other three pays the booker BBD $25 for the court, on the day. Players check back then to see the court is booked. Any issues, contact the others on WhatsApp.
  • The booker brings three new or nearly new padel balls.
  • Need to hire a racquet? Arrive at least 15 minutes early so the game starts on time.
  • Weeks run Saturday to Friday. Tell the app how many games a week you want and you will never be booked for more; when courts are short, players with no game that week come first.
  • The app never builds a game for today, so you always have at least a day's notice. You can still join an open spot in a game today from Home, right up until the court time. If two or more of a four drop out, the game is cancelled.
  • Play a game the app has built at the court it names. If the four decides to play somewhere else instead, the app cannot see it: the game is cancelled at the booking deadline and the booker gets a warning for not booking. If you want to play somewhere else, press "Can't make it" on the app's game first and arrange the other one yourselves, or record it under "Record a game we arranged ourselves" so the score still counts.
  • Fours are built at 6am every day. If you are picked, confirm by 12 noon. At 12 noon anyone who has not confirmed is removed and someone else is invited. If you drop out later, press "Can't make it" so a stand-in can be found.
  • Enter scores honestly. One of the four enters the score and it counts straight away; if it is wrong, anyone in the four can enter it again. If you swapped partners on the day, record the pairs that actually played.
  • Be kind on and off court. Bad behaviour can be reported by any player and may lead to removal.
  • The ladder owner (Stacey) may remove any player from the ladder at any time, at her sole discretion, without giving a reason.
