How Trekkr Works

The Engine Behind Every Match

Trekkr uses a proven ELO rating system — the same idea used in chess and pro sports — adapted for padel. Every match you play adjusts your rating based on the result and the strength of your opponents.

Every Match Moves Your Rating

Win and your rating goes up. Lose and it dips. How much depends on who you played — beating a stronger pair is worth more than beating a weaker one.

You beat a higher-rated pair, so the gain is bigger — and both partners earn the same boost.

What Affects Your Rating

Three Things The Engine Weighs

Opponent Strength

Before each match the engine estimates each team's probability of winning, then compares it to the actual result. Beating stronger pairs earns more.

Margin of Victory

Winning matters — but how you win matters too. A dominant victory can generate additional rating benefit compared to a narrow win.

Team Play

Padel is doubles. Trekkr averages each pair's rating to set the expectation, then adjusts both partners after the match.

Calibration — Your First 15 Matches

New players need match data before receiving a reliable rating. A minimum of 15 recorded matches is required — and the more you play, the more precise your rating becomes. Until then, your passport shows a "calibrating" status.

The Tier System

Your rating maps to a tier so you always know where you stand. Climb the ladder as your rating grows.
