The last ball is played. The tension of the match subsides, giving way to the satisfaction of the effort accomplished and the pleasure of debriefing between partners and opponents. Whether you've won or lost, one question inevitably comes up on everyone's lips as they put away their rackets: “With this result, how many points do we gain in the standings?”

The obstacle course to know your points

This is the beginning of a ritual well known to all competitors. You take out your phone, you search “FFT padel points scale”, and we come across the famous distribution table — often an image or a dense PDF, a real labyrinth of numbers where you have to squint to avoid choosing the wrong column.

First you need to identify the correct tournament category (P100, P250, P500…), then find the column corresponding to the number of pairs involved: “So, there were 26 of us… so it’s the column 25 to 28 pairs " Finally, slide your finger along the lines until you reach your final row.

A careless mistake can happen quickly, and the disappointment of believing you have won 40 point to receive only 28 a few weeks later is an experience shared by many.

This calculation, although simple in appearance, becomes a small mental charge after a trying tournament. It takes us away from the essential: the pleasure of the game and the analysis of our performance.

What if this stage belonged to the past?

Fortunately, the digital age brings its share of solutions to simplify players' lives. Faced with this recurring problem, padel enthusiasts—who are also developers—have addressed the problem. The goal: create a simple, instant and reliable way to know your points gain without deciphering the FFT table.

The idea is to transform a process of several minutes into a a matter of seconds : you just need to provide three simple pieces of information — the tournament type, number of participants and his final ranking.

Padel Now: the smart points calculator

This is precisely what is proposed Padel Now, designed as a service for the community: le Points Calculator Padel.

entirely free et accessible to everyone, it instantly applies the official FFT scale to display the exact number of points earned, without any margin of error.

Focus on the game, not the math

The arrival of this type of tool is excellent news for all competitors. It is not a question of replacing official documents, but of make information clear, fast and accessible.

With this calculator, you no longer need to dig through PDFs: just a few clicks are enough to know where you stand. So you can focus on what really matters: progress, debrief your match and prepare for the next one.

The end of tedious research

Next time you're out of a tournament, forget the FFT column puzzle: in three clicks you will know your exact points.

A small innovation which, put together with others, contributes to making the practice of padel ever more enjoyable, modern et accessible to everyone.
