The point scale system in French padel highlights an interesting reality: the last places in a P1000 can sometimes offer more points than a victory in a P100. But how is this justified? Decryption.

 A modest P1000 ranking can be worth as much as a P100 win 

  • In one  P1000  with  21 to 24 teams , just finish  21e  to get  100 point , the equivalent of a victory in a  P100 .
  • In one  P1000  with  25 to 28 teams , to end  25e  also reports  100 point , the same gain as a victory in a  P100 . So if there is only  25 teams , a player who finishes  latest  gets  100 point .

 A P1000 with 29 to 32 teams: the most frequent case 

  • In one  P1000  with  29 to 32 teams , which is very often the case, a player must finish  28e  to get  100 point , the equivalent of a victory in a  P100 .
  • In the end  22e  in this same tournament, a player wins  250 point , as much as a victory in a  P250 . This shows how lucrative P1000s can be even without reaching the top of the table.

 Why choose the P1000? 

These examples show that the  P1000  are often much more profitable than the  P100  in terms of points, even for players who do not reach the advanced rounds. By maximizing the opportunities to play P1000s, players increase their potential to earn points, sometimes without having to win many matches. Especially since P1000s in France are becoming  less and less rare , which means that not all the top players end up in the same tournament, leaving room for lower ranked players to participate in this type of competition.

For players looking to progress quickly in the rankings, focusing on P1000s sometimes seems like a good strategy to adopt.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
