A night, the points, your rating and the divisions. Everything is public, and everything follows the same simple rules.
A night is a ladder of five courts. You play six to eight short rounds, each one game. Each round, winners climb one court and losers drop one. The first round is set by rating, so the strongest start on Court 1.
Only points from games you win count. Everything won on Court 1 is worth one and a half times the same on Court 5, and the courts in between step down evenly.
The 60 ÷ games step puts short and long nights on the same scale: ×7.5 for 8 games, ×10 for 6.
Pick where you start, then win or lose each round. The ladder moves you, and the numbers update the way the league counts them.
After each night your rating moves by 0.075 for every game you won above half of the games played, and down the same for every game below half. Six wins out of seven is +0.19.
Each of your first five nights gives an estimate from the level of your court and the games you won. Your rating is their average. It goes public after night five, marked “settling” until night fifteen while it can still move a lot.
Near the ceiling growth counts half, and at the ceiling it stops. A higher rating can only be earned in a higher division.
| Division | Who it is for | Growth halves from | Ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elite | Coming soon, above D1 | soon | soon |
| D1 | The strongest amateurs | 3.00 | 3.10 |
| D2 | Fast, sharp padel | 2.00 | 2.10 |
| D3 | Steady rallies, real tactics | 1.50 | 1.60 |
| D4 | Players finding their game | 1.00 | 1.10 |
| Open D | Mixed levels, top courts are play courts | 2.00 | 2.10 |
| Start | New players, placement night | calibrating | calibrating |
New players start without a division. A Start night places you. Outgrow your ceiling and you move up; during a move you can play both neighbouring divisions.
For new players without a division. The night shows your level and places you. Your rating starts calibrating from here.
Mixed levels on one ladder. The top courts are play courts, the rest find their level below. The rating ceiling is the same as D2.
When you pass the top of your division you hold both for a while and can book nights in either, until the new one is yours.
A division above D1, for when the best amateurs in Lebanon outgrow it.
On fixed pairs nights you play the whole night with one partner. The pair gets a rating of its own, kept apart from your mixed rating. For its first five nights together, the pair is placed by the average of both players’ mixed ratings.
Solo players on a fixed pairs night are listed with their rating and playing side. Ask to pair; they confirm or decline. You can cancel a request or leave a pair.
One of you pays for the pair, or each pays their own share. The pair’s place is held while you pay.
The line-up goes to the WhatsApp group: “Court 1: A, B vs C, D”. Pasted into the site, it sets every starting court.
After the night, one photo of the score board. The site reads it, matches the names and asks the organiser to check.
Medals, points, ratings, the monthly race and every player page update by themselves. New players get a profile to claim.
Press Register and you have 15 minutes to pay; the place is kept for you meanwhile. You can release it yourself. After that, it is offered to whoever is next.
If a payment doesn’t go through, no money is taken and your place is still yours until the timer ends. Just press Pay again.
No refunds, but you can move your place to another night of your division at the same price, free, up to 24 hours before, as often as you like.
When a place opens, whoever is first on the waitlist has 15 minutes to pay for it, then the next in line.
You book the nights of your division. While you move up you hold both divisions for a while and can book either.
No partner? Ask another solo player to pair. Then pay for both, or each pays their share.
Scores go in at the court on the night and they are final. Names, results and ratings are public.
Play at your real level every round. Fair games are the whole point.
If we cancel a night, your payment moves to another night of your choice or stays as credit.
