Padel levels explained
Every WasItOut player has a padel level from 0 to 7. It tells you who you'll enjoy playing with, and it moves only with results both teams have confirmed.
The 0–7 padel scale

Padel letter grades: D to A
Many clubs and WhatsApp groups in the UAE describe players with letters, from D for beginners up to A, with + and − in between. There is no official conversion, and every club grades a little differently, so treat this as a guide. WasItOut shows your grade next to your level, for example 3.30 · C+.

How your starting level is set
When you join, a few quick questions cover how long and how often you play, your rallies, the back glass, overheads, competitions and other racket sports. Your answers give you a starting point, not a verdict: higher levels are earned on court.
How your level goes up and down
- Only competitive games count. Friendlies never move your level.
- Once a result is confirmed, each team's average level is compared with the result that was expected. Beat a stronger team and you rise more; lose to a weaker team and you drop more.
- A clear win counts a little more than a narrow one.
- The other team confirms every score, so nobody can quietly boost their own level.
What reliability means
Reliability shows how sure WasItOut is about your level. New players move quickly while the system learns how they play. With every confirmed game reliability rises, and each result moves you a little less. In the app you'll see it as Low, Medium or High.
