Padel Level Converter — every scale, one table
Pick the system your number came from, set the value, and see where the same player sits on the 0–7 scale booking apps use, MATCHi’s self-assessed 1–10, the UK’s LTA-style 1.0–7.0 rating and the letters clubs paint on a team sheet. No official conversion exists between any of them, so every row here is an approximation and says so.
The step you picked for yourself, whole numbers only. MATCHi levels run 1–10 for every sport and market, with padel in Denmark the one exception on 1–7. Self-declared numbers read high, so a step that could sit in two bands is read as the lower one here.
Letters are local. A letter is read as the middle of its band here.
Club regular
0–7 scale your number
Seeded from a questionnaire when you sign up, then moved by results with the level of everyone in the match taken into account. It describes you against strangers, which is what it is for — and why it feels blunt inside a group that knows each other.
MATCHi 1–10 your number
Declared by the player, not calculated: you pick the step whose description matches how you play, and nothing ever corrects it. Ten rungs do not make it more precise than a seven-rung scale — they make it longer. It drifts up after a good night and never back down, so read anyone’s level as a claim rather than a measurement. The scale runs 1–10 for every sport and market, with padel in Denmark the one exception on 1–7.
LTA-style 1.0–7.0 your number
The UK’s published rating scale, with a written description for every half point, used as the reference for amateur and professional play and for competition entry. It is the closest thing here to an official number — and it is national, not global. Read the offset above as deliberate: the statement at each LTA-style value describes a higher standard than the same figure on a 0–7 platform level, so the same player lands about half a point up the scale.
Club letters your number
Whatever your club decided, usually to sort its internal teams and sessions. A B team at one club is a C at the club down the road, so a letter only travels as far as the people who agreed on it.
There is no official conversion between padel level systems, and nothing here is endorsed by any platform or federation. These are working approximations assembled from each system’s own published scale and the band descriptions clubs use — good to about half a level, which is also roughly how much any single rating can be wrong about you.
The scales disagree because they answer different questions. An algorithmic 0–7 level answers “who should I be matched with tonight”, and is seeded by a sign-up questionnaire before results start correcting it. A self-assessed level — the step MATCHi asks you to pick from its own descriptions, on a 1–10 scale for every sport and market except padel in Denmark, which stayed on 1–7 — answers “what do you think you are”, a different question with a well-documented bias. The LTA’s 1.0–7.0 rating answers “what standard of competition are you eligible for” and is written out level by level on the LTA’s padel rating page. Club letters answer “which internal team are you in”, and travel about as far as the car park.
Since the questions differ, the answers cannot line up exactly, and a table claiming otherwise is guessing with confidence. Approximate mapping is still useful — it is how you read a stranger’s number before you play them — so everything here is assembled from each system’s own published bands and is good to about half a level. That happens to be the same margin of error any single rating carries about any single player. Two consequences worth knowing before you quote a row: an LTA-style figure describes a higher standard than the same figure on a 0–7 platform level, so the same player sits about half a point up that scale; and any conversion chart written before 2026 is mapping MATCHi’s old, shorter scale rather than today’s 1–10.
If your number matters to you because of how it feels rather than what it books, a better conversion is not the fix. A smaller population is: inside a fixed group of eight or ten regulars, a rating stops being a claim about the world and becomes a record of what happened between you.
