Groups

Your crew's padel, all in one place

One shared group gives everyone the same roster, the same results archive and the same Elo rating — synced to each member's phone. The story writes itself, session by session.

Play the sessions

Follow the ratings

Every session lands in the archive and moves the Elo numbers — on every member's phone.

Roster and archive

The roster needs no accounts

Add anyone with just their name — they play, get ranked and build stats like everyone else. An account only means the group shows up on their own phone. Whoever joins through an invite picks their name off the roster: “This is me” — and their whole history follows.

Every finished session lands in a results archive that is never edited after the fact, mirrored to every member. If someone leaves the group, their results stay — and they can rejoin later. Roles are simple: owner, admin and member.

Rating

Elo from 1200 — you see the change after every session

Each group has its own rating, and everyone starts at 1200. Take a bigger share of the points than expected and the number goes up; take a smaller share and it goes down — and the stronger the team you beat, the bigger the move. When the session ends, you see how far you moved.

You and your partner get exactly the same change — the pair is judged as one.

For your first three sessions the number is marked provisional; it has little to go on yet.

Nobody needs an account to build a rating — a name on the roster is enough.

Tournaments

Post the session — people claim their own slots

The next padel night plans itself. The owner or an admin posts a lobby with the format, courts, slots and date. Members claim a slot each — first come, first served — and the lobby always shows how many are left. If a slot is taken, you hear about it right away.

When everyone is in, “Start round 1” turns the lobby into a live session with the roster settled. Poor signal in the hall never blocks the start, and a lobby can be reopened with every slot intact — or cancelled for everyone.

Highlights

Computed over the last ten sessions and unlocked after three played — with 9:16 share cards for the group chat, and milestone recaps at 10, 25 and 50 sessions. The rules behind every award are on the highlights page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about groups

What does a PadelFlow group cost?

Creating and running a group is a subscription: 699 kr a year or 99 kr a month, with the first 30 days free. Playing in a group and joining one are always free — only the person who owns the group pays, and one subscription covers every group they run.

Does everyone in the group need an account?

No. Players can be added with just their name — they play, get ranked and build stats like everyone else. An account only means the group shows up on their own phone: whoever joins through an invite picks their name off the roster with “This is me”, and their whole history follows.

What happens if the owner's subscription lapses?

The group pauses — nothing is deleted. The roster, the results archive, the ratings and the highlights stay readable for every member, but nobody can start new sessions or tournaments, invite new members or change the roster until the owner reactivates. Members never see a price — only the owner does.

How is the Elo rating calculated?

Everyone starts at 1200, and a team's rating is the average of its two players' ratings. After each match the numbers move with the share of the points you took and how strong the team you met was — never more than 32 per match — and you and your partner get exactly the same change. The full calculation, with the formula and a worked example, is on our page about Elo ratings in padel (in Norwegian).

Is PadelFlow available on Android?

Yes — PadelFlow is on Google Play, alongside the App Store for iPhone and iPad. The web app still runs in any browser.

How do people join a group?

The owner shares one invite — as a link, a QR code or a short code — and you pick your name off the roster when you join. A new code invalidates the old one instantly, and joining only needs an Apple or Google account.

What happens to the results if someone leaves the group?

They stay. Every finished session lives in a results archive that is never edited after the fact, mirrored to every member — and if someone leaves the group, everything they played remains. They can also rejoin later.
