Leaderboards
The Leaders tab ranks players by PaddleRank. Two scopes, six modes.
World Rank and Friend Rank
World Rank — where you sit among everyone on Vallio.
Friend Rank — where you sit among the people you're connected to.
Friend Rank is usually the more meaningful of the two. World Rank is a number against a population you'll never play; Friend Rank is your standing among people you'll see on court next week, which is the comparison that actually motivates anyone.
Regular · Overall is free — board, your position on it, and your Friend Rank. The other five boards are Champion. Select Singles or Doubles on Rookie and the board blurs behind a lock that names the tier and the price. See What's Included with Champion.
Six modes
Select a type and a mode:
| | Overall | Doubles | Singles | |---|---|---|---| | Regular | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Ranked | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Each is a separate ladder with its own PaddleRank. Your doubles ranking and your singles ranking are independent, and being high in one says nothing about the other.
Ranked is coming soon, and it isn't a paid tier — it's gated by availability. A ranked result can only exist if a venue is hosting ranked competition or has set a court to ranked play, because that's the tightest guarantee the app can make about the conditions a rating was earned under. Champion buys the right to see all six boards; whether the ranked two have anything in them depends on where you've played.

Reading them sensibly
Check the mode you actually play. If you play doubles almost exclusively, the Overall board is diluted by a singles record built from four games. The doubles board is your real standing.
Volume matters. Regular PaddleRank rewards cumulative activity, so someone playing four times a week will outrank an equally skilled player who plays monthly. That's the system working as designed — it measures activity and improvement, not pure skill.
Don't chase it. Leaderboard position is an output. The inputs are playing regularly, playing up, and playing in higher-multiplier contexts. See Improving Your PaddleRank.
Leaderboards vs. Dashboard
Easy to conflate:
Dashboard — your numbers. What you've done, and your trend over time.
Leaderboards — the same numbers, positioned against everyone else.
Dashboard for whether you're improving. Leaderboards for where you stand.
No data yet?
New leaderboards, or new modes you've barely played, will be sparse. Boards need games to be meaningful, and a mode with a handful of games isn't ranking anything useful yet.
