About

Built for competitive padel.

Padel IQ is a platform for competitive padel — persistent leagues, social Americano nights, and tournaments. One identity, one rating, one record that follows you across every format.

Formats

Every way Padel IQ runs a match. Live formats ship today; the rest are in the queue.

Live

Leagues

Doubles-only, fixed-partner teams playing a round-robin season across skill-based divisions, with promotion and relegation at the edges.

Team identity is the two core players — the partnership IS the team. A permanent change to either core player starts a new team (Ship-of-Theseus).
Each team keeps a small player pool — two cores plus a couple of subs. Any two from the pool can play any match; rating and standings belong to the team, not the individuals on a given night.
Multiple skill-based divisions with end-of-season promotion and relegation.

Live

Americano

Live social sessions where partners rotate every round and individual points are tallied across the night.

Players join by code or QR — no installs.
Live leaderboard updates as the organizer enters scores.
Casual by default; sessions can be marked ranked to feed personal Elo.

Live

Tournaments

Single-elimination and round-robin formats, played live in one day, with self-registration up to the start.

Bracket climbs through rounds to a final — winners advance, losers exit (single-elim) or accumulate points (round-robin).
Public join page with a code or QR; organizers manage courts and confirm scores live.
Same engine for team or individual-player participants.

Team Americano

Americano played in fixed pairs that move from court to court while the format keeps the same point-up-to-target scoring.

Coming soon

Mexicano

Live session format where each round's pairings are seeded by the previous round's standings — closer matches as the night progresses.

Coming soon

Team Mexicano

Mexicano scoring and seeding applied to fixed teams.

Systems

The shared rules that thread through every format.

Scoring

Match win — 3 pts
Loss in three sets (2–1) — 1 pt
Loss in two sets (0–2) — 0 pts

Each league can configure its points rule at setup.

Tiebreakers

Each league sets its own priority list at setup — organizers order how ties beyond points get resolved. The available options are:

Head-to-head
Set ratio
Game ratio

Promotion and relegation

One team up, one team down per season.
The top of the highest division stays.
The bottom of the lowest division stays.
End-of-season movements are confirmed by an admin.

Elo ratings

Both teams and players carry an Elo rating — teams accumulate from league play; individual players carry a personal rating that travels across formats and seeds future play.
Baseline is 1500.
K-factor is 40 for the first 10 matches, then 20.
A Provisional badge sits beside any rating with fewer than 10 matches.
Walkovers award standings points but skip the Elo update.
Casual play stays unranked unless the session is marked otherwise.

Score entry

Leagues — either captain submits the score and the opposing captain confirms before it's official. A captain can dispute; an admin resolves with an audit trail.

Americano and tournaments — the organizer enters scores live as matches finish and is the recording authority for the session.

Achievements

Persistent badges your team earns across seasons — first wins, hot streaks, comebacks, big-rated upsets. Auto-earned, they live on your team profile and never expire.
