Tier one
Masters
The higher ratings in the game, drawn against each other.
- A win
- 3000 points, plus 200 a set
The padel section of the Douro Bats association, in Porto. Put your name down for a game and the draw does the rest: new partners, opponents at your level.
Every game gets a fresh draw. Different partners each time, opponents at your level, and a rating that keeps the matches close.
For everyone
Padel is for everyone here. Beginners and regulars share the same courts in the same game. The tiers give you opponents at your level. They never sort people into a first team and a second.
One game, start to finish
Follow one player from sign-up to rating.
Five moments in a single game, and what the app does at each one. Keep scrolling to play it through.
- Sign-ups open. Every game opens for sign-up at a set time, and you get a notification and an email the moment it does. Places go in order of sign-up.
- The waitlist. Once a game is full you join the waitlist. When someone drops out, the next in line moves up automatically and is told at once.
- The draw. Players are ranked by current rating and split into two tiers. The draw then pairs you with someone you haven't partnered recently.
- On court. Masters and Explorers play on their own courts. When the game ends, the results go in.
- Your rating. The nonstop's points join your last five scored nonstops. The oldest leaves the window and your rating updates.
Two tiers, set for every game
Your rating at the time decides your tier, so you can move between them from one game to the next.
Tier two
Explorers
The rest of the field, matched just as closely.
- A win
- 2000 points, plus 150 a set

The app
Every game, on your phone.
Sign up for games, see the draw and follow the ranking. When sign-ups open, when you move up from the waitlist or the day before the game, you hear about it by notification, email or both, whichever you prefer. Notifications need the app on your home screen.
Access is by invitation, for Douro Bats members and for players from other associations who join our tournaments. Get in touch and we'll send you yours.
