Terms of use

Last updated 30 October 2026

These terms apply to everyone who uses the WA Padel website, holds a WA Padel membership or enters a WA Padel ranked tournament. By creating an account you agree to them.

1. Who we are

WA Padel Pty Ltd (“WA Padel”, “we”, “us”) runs the WA Padel Ranking: a statewide padel ranking for Western Australia and the tournaments that count towards it. Tournaments are hosted by partner clubs, which run the event at their venue.

2. Your account

  • You must give your real name, a working email address and a recent photo that clearly shows your face. Your photo is required to pay a membership or enter a tournament.
  • One account per person. Your account and membership are personal and cannot be shared or transferred.
  • Keep your password private. You are responsible for entries made from your account.
  • Players under 18 need the consent of a parent or guardian to create an account and play.

3. Membership

  • Membership is free until 31 December 2026 (founding season). From 1 January 2027 the WA Padel membership costs $50 (AUD, incl. GST where applicable) and lasts 12 months from the day it is paid. Renewing early adds 12 months to your current end date.
  • An active membership is required to enter ranked tournaments. It does not include tournament entry fees, which are paid to the hosting club.
  • We send a reminder by email about 7 days before your membership ends. Memberships do not renew automatically.
  • Refunds are covered by our Refund policy.

4. Levels

WA Padel assigns each member a playing level after they join, based on the information we have (results, coaches, clubs, previous rankings). Levels can change over time. We may adjust a level at any moment to keep tournaments fair. If you disagree with your level, write to us and we will review it.

5. Entering tournaments

  • You enter as a team of two. Both players must be WA Padel members.
  • Each tournament shows its category (P15 to P1000), the levels it is designed for, the number of teams and the entry fee.
  • Where a tournament says “entries approved by WA Padel”, your entry is a request until we approve it. We may decline an entry, for example when a team’s level does not suit the draw, when the draw is complete, or after previous no-shows.
  • When a tournament is full you can join the waiting list. Teams on the waiting list are moved in by WA Padel, not automatically, and are only charged once they are in.
  • Entry fees are paid to the hosting club — online when the club takes card payments, otherwise at the club. A WA Padel service fee is included in online entries.
  • Please arrive on time. Schedules, formats and draws are set by the organiser and can change on the day.

6. The ranking

  • Points depend on the tournament category, your final position and the number of teams in the draw. Your best 5 results count.
  • Results are entered by WA Padel from the organiser’s official results. If you think a result is wrong, contact us within 14 days of the tournament.
  • WA Padel may correct results, update the points table for future tournaments, and remove results obtained through misconduct.

7. What appears publicly

To run a public ranking, your name, photo, level, gender category, ranking position, points and tournament results are shown on the website. Your email address, phone number and payment details are never shown publicly. See our Privacy policy.

8. Conduct

Play fair, respect opponents, organisers, club staff and venues, and follow the rules of padel and the club. We may suspend or close an account, without refund of the membership, for serious or repeated misconduct, cheating, abusive behaviour, or giving false information (including playing under someone else’s name).

9. Health and safety

Padel is a physical sport. You take part at your own risk and are responsible for being fit to play. Venues, courts and equipment are the responsibility of the hosting club. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be excluded by law.

10. Our liability

Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Apart from those, and to the extent permitted by law, WA Padel is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability to you is limited to the fees you paid to WA Padel in the previous 12 months. We aim to keep the website available and accurate but cannot guarantee it will always be error-free.

11. Changes

We may update these terms, for example when we add features or change prices. Important changes will be announced by email or on the website. Price changes never affect a membership you have already paid.

12. Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia. Questions or complaints: info@wapadel.com.au.
