How it works

From solo player to ranked P-Team.

You join on your own. You do not need a partner, a level, or an invitation. The community handles the rest.

Step by step

Four steps, no barriers

1

Create your profile

Sign up, pick your home club, and pay $40 for your P-Combine plus $10 for your first month. You are a Padner from that moment, with or without a partner.

$50 to start
2

Find your Padner

Search for someone you already play with, or browse the Free Agents pool of Padners looking for a partner. Send a team request, they accept, and your P-Team exists.

Go to your P-Combine

Coaches evaluate your pair and assign your P-Div and P-Cat. Physios assess your body and give you your data. It runs once there are enough pairs signed up in your branch.

Compete and climb

Enter P-Tournaments and P-Cups against pairs at your exact level. Win enough and your P-Team moves up a division.

The details

Questions people actually ask

Do I need a partner to join?

No. Membership is individual. Every Padner joins alone and pays alone. Two Padners then link to form a P-Team. If you do not know anyone, you go into the Free Agents pool and other members can find you.

What if I do not know my level?

That is the entire point of the P-Combine. Nobody self-declares a level in Padners. Certified coaches watch you play and decide, which is why the divisions actually mean something.

When does my first event happen?

Every event starts when it fills, not on a fixed calendar. A P-Combine runs once there are enough pairs in your branch to make the evaluation worthwhile. A P-Tournament runs once eight P-Teams in the same division and branch have entered. Nothing runs half empty.

What happens if my partner and I split up?

Your membership is yours and stays active. The P-Team is what dissolves. You link with a new Padner and the new pair goes through a P-Combine together at half price — $20 per Padner instead of $40. A division belongs to a pair, not to a person, so a new pair has to be placed on its own merit.

What does the monthly membership cover?

Platform access, your profile and member card, your place in the ranking, member pricing on every event, and club benefits at your home court. If it lapses, you leave the ranking.

Can I play at more than one club?

Yes. You choose a home club, but your Padners identity and ranking travel with you across every club in the network.

What does it actually cost, all in?

Your P-Combine is $40 per Padner, paid once. Membership is $10 a month, or $100 a year if you pay up front — the annual is membership only and does not include the P-Combine. So starting costs $50: your evaluation plus your first month. Events are separate and optional: a P-Tournament is $100 per Padner and a P-Cup is $250 per Padner. You are never charged for an event you did not enter.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer. You get a unique reference code when you sign up, you include it in the transfer, and your membership is activated once the payment is confirmed. Card payments are coming, but every payment today is reviewed by a person, so activation is not instant.

Can I cancel?

Any time, with no penalty and no notice period. Your membership stays active until the end of the period you already paid for, and your division and ranking are held until then. There is no contract and no minimum term.

What happens if I stop paying?

Your access to the platform closes and your P-Team leaves the ranking. Your history is not deleted. If you come back, your record is still there, but your division is not held for you indefinitely and you may need a new P-Combine.

What if my P-Combine never fills?

Your place carries to the next one and nothing expires. If you would rather not wait, tell us and we will sort it out with you directly. The joining fee buys your P-Combine, and you get your P-Combine.

What if I think my division is wrong?

Tell us. Placement is a coach judgement, not a formula, and coaches are wrong sometimes. Any P-Team can go through a new P-Combine whenever it wants at half price, $20 per Padner, and be re-placed on what the coaches see that day. What you cannot do is choose your own division, because that is the one thing that would make the whole ranking meaningless.

Is the physio assessment a medical exam?

No. It is a performance screening run by licensed therapists to give you your own baseline numbers. It is not a diagnosis, it does not replace seeing a doctor, and nothing in your Padners profile should be read as medical advice. If something shows up that concerns you, the therapist will tell you to get it looked at properly.

Who can see my data?

You and your Padner. Your physical assessment is private to your profile and is not shown on the public ranking, not shared with your club, and not sold to anybody. What is public is what you would expect: your P-Team name, your division and your results.

Start on your own. The rest follows.

Fifty dollars gets you your P-Combine and your first month, and the community finds you a Padner.
