Points, games, sets – This is how the scoring system works in padel (and how to enter it in Playtomic)

Anyone new to padel will quickly notice: the scoring system is similar to tennis – but with a few subtle differences. This article explains step-by-step how to score correctly in padel, when a set is won, and how to enter your results in the Playtomic app afterwards.

🔢 1. The basic structure of the Padel scoring system

Padel is normally played as a best-of-three sets – meaning whoever wins two sets wins the match.

A set consists of individual games , and these in turn consist of points. The scoring is the same as in tennis:

• 0 points = "Love"
• 1 point = "15"
• 2 points = "30"
• 3 points = "40"
• 4 points = "Game" (if there is a two-point lead)

When the score is 40-40, it is called a "deuce" . After that, a team needs two points in a row to win the game.

🎯 2. How to win a set

A set is won when a team has won six games – but with a lead of at least two games (e.g. 6:4). If the score is 5:5, the game continues until 7:5.

If the score is 6-6, a tiebreak is played. Instead of "15, 30, 40," the score is counted as "1, 2, 3...". The tiebreak goes to 7 points , with a minimum two-point lead (e.g., 7-5 or 8-6).

📱 3. Enter results correctly in the Playtomic app

After the match, you can enter your result directly in the Playtomic app – this is important for your ranking and future game suggestions.

1. In the app, open the "Matches" menu item.
2. Select your played match.
3. Tap on "Enter Result" or "Add Score" .
4. Enter the set scores – e.g. 6:4, 3:6, 10:8 (Super-Tiebreak).
5. Confirm the result. Your partner or opponent can then verify it.

💡 Tip: Enter your results as soon as possible to keep your Playtomic Rating (Level) up to date. This ensures fair match suggestions and better playing partners.
