PADL USA
Your rating connects it all.
Your next step starts with PPI.
PADL USA is built around the PADL Performance Index—your verified pickleball rating. Use the app to build the record that supports championship qualification and professional scouting. The matches, rewards and competition all lead back to your rating.
Play & verify → Build PPI → Championship → Professional scouting
Not separate offerings. A system built around your play.
What builds your rating
Real opponents. Confirmed results.
Courts and PADL Chat® help you get a match. Eligible match rewards encourage verified play. Those matches build your record.
PPI
PADL Performance Index
The connection between every step
Where your record can take you
Qualification. Competition. Scouting.
Your PPI and qualifying results support championship selection. Championship performance gives professional scouts more than a self-reported rating to assess.
Why every step needs your PADL record
- 01
Use the PADL app
Start your PPI with the placement questions. Find opponents, play and record your matches in PADL—not just on a tournament day.
- 02
Build your verified PPI
The opposing side confirms the score. Your first five verified matches calibrate your rating; continued play builds your competitive record.
- 03
Qualify through your record
The PADL Tour Championship has no entry fee. Your PPI sets your flight; eligible verified results support selection. Buying a membership does not buy an invitation.
- 04
Play for the next step
Championship performance and your verified PADL record feed professional scouting and draft consideration. The championship is a gateway—not the professional league itself or a guaranteed contract.
Championship eligibility requires Rookie or Tour Level membership and an NFT Tour Card. Qualifying results must be against opponents within 0.50 PPI, from the last 90 days, with each format assessed separately. Your record supports selection; it does not guarantee an invitation.
A reason to play. A record that matters.
Rewards encourage you to play and confirm results—the activity that builds PPI. Win or lose, eligible verified matches earn $PADL. Your membership sets the multiplier. Daily, weekly and repeat-opponent limits protect fair play.
