The standard needs
its contributors.
Raydel is the founding contributor to UPR — already generating shot-level data and feeding it into the universal standard. Great companies like Padelytics, SwingVision, PlaySight, Clutch, and AI Ball are invited to join the movement. Together, we can deliver 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. The full ecosystem is invited: GameCam · Clutch · Padelytics · aiball · PlaySight · SPASH · Wingfield · SwingVision · SportAI · Save My Play · Dartfish · Padmi · CourtMaster · Skylab EPA — and every platform still emerging. Your data makes every player's rating more accurate. Early partners get the most direct input into how the metrics and methodology develop. Integrate and help define it.
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. SwingVision and Raydel still compete for market share — for hardware sales, for subscriptions, for court installations. But both their data flows into UPR, making the rating more accurate for both their users. A player tracked by Raydel and then later by SwingVision has a more accurate UPR than a player tracked by only one platform. That's a competitive advantage for both, not a concession by either.
"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 platform — Raydel, Clutch, AI Ball, Padelytics, and others — brings its own methodology for evaluating and organizing player performance. A player's score on any one platform and their UPR are related but not identical. UPR is the number the sport agrees on collectively, informed by all of them.
