Find Your Match in Padel & Tennis: Dynamic Rating System
No one enjoys a match they win too easily or have no chance in. With QReserve's globally standardized 1.0 - 7.0 rating system, always find opponents at your level and enjoy the competition on the court.
The Best Part of Open Matches
If you don't have a playing partner or are tired of playing with the same people every week, 'Open Matches' are for you! The QReserve Elo system only directs you to matches with players suitable for your skills. This way, every match is exciting, and every rally is fiercely competitive.

What is the Universal 7.0 Level System?
There is a standard level language accepted in court sports worldwide. QReserve displays your skills in the interface with a decimal score between 1.0 (Beginner) and 7.0 (Professional).
Unlike Playtomic-like systems, QReserve does not tie rating changes only to match outcomes; it evaluates opponent quality, match balance, and player improvement trends together. This creates fairer open-match pairings and reflects your level more realistically.
For example; as you win matches, your score gradually rises from 3.2 to 3.3. This way, when you look at your profile, you can instantly see how close you are to the next level after every match.
How Does the Elo Algorithm That Measures Your Progress Work?
A fair system should take into account not just how many matches you win, but who you beat. The 'Elo Rating System', also used in international chess tournaments, ensures this fairness with the following rules:
Make a Leap by Beating Tough Opponents
If you play against a much more experienced opponent (higher score) and win, the system generously rewards your effort. Tough victories significantly boost your score in a single match.
Balanced Matches, Steady Rise
If you want to permanently raise your score, you should focus on matches at your own level or the next tier up. Beating much less experienced players hardly changes your score, but a potential loss can drop your ranking. The system always encourages 'competition'.

Your Player Journey: How to Start?
The best part of open matches is that there is a place for everyone on the court. When you join QReserve, you have two great options to start at the right level:
- Dynamic Placement Stage (First 10 Matches): When you register, you hit the court with a starting score (2.0). But don't worry, the system applies a special 'high-acceleration' algorithm for your first 10 matches. With your wins, you jump quickly and reach your actual level in just a few matches.
- Leveling with a Coach (Fast Track): If you don't want to wait for the 10-match process, you can request a 'Leveling Match' from your club. After a short practice/match with your coach, you are evaluated with a professional eye and your actual score (e.g., 4.5) is instantly defined on your profile.
