The standard needs
its contributors.
Raydel is the founding partner of UPR — already generating shot-level data and feeding it into the universal standard. UPR is designed to work with the entire padel capture landscape: the platforms, clubs, federations, and tournament systems that are building the infrastructure of the modern game. Together, we have the opportunity to give the global padel community something it has never had: a true standard for individual player performance.
Every node in the padel ecosystem.
UPR is not built for one audience. It is the connective layer between all of them.
Capture Technology Platforms
Raydel is the founding partner. UPR is designed for the full landscape: capture platforms, court technology providers, analytics tools, club management systems, federations, and tournament platforms — any technology that generates padel performance data. Your data makes every player's rating more accurate. Early integrations get the most direct input into how the metrics and methodology develop.
Clubs & Academies
Accurate matchmaking. Level-appropriate groups. Player retention. UPR gives your club a tool that makes every match more competitive and every member more engaged.
Tournaments & Leagues
UPR-verified seeding. Sandbagging prevention. Draws that players respect. Integrate UPR and your tournament becomes more legitimate than any without it.
Federations & Governing Bodies
UPR is built to be recognized — the common language of padel player performance. It connects with existing systems so every player's rating grows richer regardless of the platform or technology they use.
Competitors contribute.
Standards compound.
UPR doesn't ask capture platforms to stop competing. Platforms still compete for market share — for hardware sales, for subscriptions, for court installations. But the design intent of UPR is that data from any platform flows into the standard, making the rating more accurate for every user. A player tracked by multiple platforms over time has a more accurate UPR than a player tracked by only one. That's a competitive advantage for every platform that integrates, not a concession by any.
"The exact metrics and weights that calculate a player's UPR will be determined collaboratively — by federations, professional players, recreational players, and data capture platforms together. No single company decides. The sport decides."
Each capture platform brings its own methodology for evaluating and organizing player performance. A player's score on any given platform and their UPR are related but not identical. UPR is the number the sport agrees on collectively, informed by data from across the landscape.
