How the systems work
Playtomic level (0 to 7)
Playtomic uses an ELO-like scale from 0.0 to 7.0. The value adjusts after every rated match. 3.5 is solid club level, from 5.0 strong, from 6.0 national to professional. There is no exact conversion to other apps.
DPV ranking points (GPS)
The German Padel Series (GPS) has eight categories from GPS 50 to GPS 1500. The number is the points for the winner. Only the eight highest-scoring tournaments of the last 52 weeks count for the ranking. Categories 50 to 350 have a team point limit, a DPV license is required from GPS 100.
FIP points (international)
The FIP has its own categories (Promotion, Rise, Star, Gold, Platinum). The best 22 results count for the pro ranking, the best 9 for the junior ranking. FIP points are separate from DPV points.
