Your PADEL VS rating estimates competitive playing strength. Validated results from eligible matches, tournaments and leagues can affect it. Your player category and your position in a league table are separate measures.
Which results count?
A recorded and validated match result can update your rating. Creating or joining a match does not count as playing it. Tournaments and leagues must be configured to affect rankings; check the competition details. Pending results and unplayed fixtures should not be treated as completed wins.
Why rating changes vary
The interface uses the terms ELO and rating. The current calculation uses TrueSkill, which tracks estimated skill and uncertainty. Both teams, their previous playing history and the result matter. There is no universal fixed points award for every win.
For example, partners who win together may receive different changes because their ratings and previous experience differ. Before reporting an error, check the four players, winning team and score recorded against the match.
Rating versus category
Your rating informs your category, but declared level and promotion conditions also matter. Crossing a rating threshold does not guarantee an immediate promotion. Read the player category guide.
