VPR RATINGS

VPR stands for Versatile Padel Ratings - a rating system used in the Infinity Padel Clubs ecosystem. This ratings can tell how good a player is based on a scale from 100 - 700. The details of the levels are as follow:

• 100: This player is starting to play, with no previous racket experience, but are able to make contact with the ball.
• 200: This player can hit the ball regularly and have consistency at a
  slow pace, with some tournament playing experience.
• 300: Experienced padel players with work-in-progress techniques and strategies, with extensive tournament experience.
• 400: High level padel players with well-defined techniques and game play strategies, high position finishes in tournaments.
• 500: Highly competitive padel players competing and winning national and regional tournaments.
• 600: International competitors with experience in high level tournaments. Ranked within the top 250 in the world.
• 700: Top players in the world ranked within the top 100.

With every competitive match you play, your VPR may increase or decrease. How much VPR gained or loss will depend on the following variables: the difference in VPR between the players and the final result. Much similar to the famous ELO system, if a pair has a combined VPR of, for example, 600, loses 6-0 to a pair that has a combined VPR of 400, will lose more VPR than a pair of 600 losing 6-0 to a pair of 800.

VPR is important because it will match the players with similar levels into games, matches, competition, etc. For example, if you come to a padel club and are looking for a game, it is convenient to search for players with similar ratings to yours. Similarly, most padel tournaments will have "category" to put same level players into the same draw to make it more competitive and interesting to watch.
