Padel rules basics
Padel is played mainly as doubles on an enclosed court. The ball may rebound off the glass after landing in bounds. Scoring follows tennis conventions, but court geometry, wall play, and serving underhand create distinct tactics.
Authority resources
Rules, sources, methodology, and organizer guidance
This page explains how the site verifies events, rankings, and winners. It also gives searchers the practical padel context they expect from an association resource.
Official sources
Source index
Every source card links out to the original calendar, ranking, or results platform. These sources should be checked before every monthly content update.
Tournament taxonomy
Use separate labels for Premier Padel, Cupra FIP Tour, FIP Promises, Pro Padel League, national sanctioned events, local opens, juniors, seniors, and mixed divisions. That taxonomy keeps search pages precise.
Ranking methodology
International players should cite FIP profiles. Domestic players should cite USPA/WPR, Padel Canada/WPR, and organizer-published ladders. Do not merge ratings systems without labeling the source.
Maintenance workflow
