League rules

Each match has 3 lines

  • Line 1 win = 6 points
  • Line 2 win = 3 points
  • Line 3 win = 2 points

Division & weekly play

  • Intermediate: NPRP 3.2–3.8
  • Wednesdays, in two sessions: two matches start at 6:30 PM and two at 8:00 PM. At Replay Club and Padel X, some 8:00 PM matches start as soon as courts from the first session are free. With eight teams, every team plays every Wednesday: 10 matches, every other team once plus three rematches. The 8:00 PM slot rotates so every team gets exactly five late starts, and the schedule shows your time and courts. Allow approximately 1½–2 hours for each match.
  • Matches rotate weekly between three clubs: Replay Club, Padel X Boca Raton and XCEL Padel – West Palm HQ. The schedule shows the club for each week.
  • Registration closes on October 1.

Team & roster

Each registered team must maintain a roster of 6–10 players. Each match uses six players across three lines. Substitutes may be used to avoid a forfeit when they meet the appropriate rating and division level, but substitutions must be made before the match begins.

Every team must designate a captain. Captains register the team, submit rosters before match day, and send the league administrator their lineup (who plays Line 1, Line 2 and Line 3) at least 3 days before each match, which means by Sunday for a Wednesday match. Captains also coordinate schedule changes, send the results of all three lines the same night, and remain present even when not playing. If absent, the captain must designate a substitute captain.

Courts are booked by the host clubs, so captains do not need to reserve courts.

Fees

  • Team registration: $400 for the full season, paid by the captain. This includes organized and scheduled matches, league administration, and standings and score updates.
  • Court fee: $40 per player per match, collected in full by the host club before play. The captain’s court fee is $20 per match.

Match format & scoring

  • Matches are best of three sets.
  • Line 1 win: 6 points
  • Line 2 win: 3 points
  • Line 3 win: 2 points

Star Point: play two deuces with advantage; the third deuce is a deciding golden point. The league administrator records the scores at every match night. As a backup, captains send the results of Line 1, Line 2 and Line 3 (players and set scores) the same night.

Match rules

  • A 15-minute grace period applies; after that, the match may be declared a default.
  • Warm-up is limited to 10 minutes.
  • No substitutions are permitted once a match has begun.
  • There is zero tolerance for misconduct, verbal abuse or unsafe play.
  • Appeals and disputes must be submitted in writing to the league coordinator within 24 hours.

How to register

The captain registers the team and pays the $400 team fee. Players do not register individually. During registration, submit the full 6–10 player roster with each player’s full name, phone number and email address. The captain must also email the roster to nacho@replayclub.com. After registration, club managers will share the roster and captain contact details in the managers’ WhatsApp group.

Championship & prizes

The top four teams advance to the playoffs. Semifinals are played on the Monday of the final week (No. 1 vs. No. 4 and No. 2 vs. No. 3), and the winners meet in the championship final on Wednesday at Replay Club. Playoff matches are best of three sets with the star point. The champion receives a trophy. Sponsor prizes will be announced.

At the Finals, players will be entered in the SIUX raffle for one SIUX racket and two SIUX padel bags.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers for team captains and players.

Who completes registration?

The team captain registers the team, pays the team registration fee, and submits the complete roster. Individual players do not register separately for a team spot.

How many teams can enter?

The Intermediate division is limited to nine teams. Registration remains available until the division reaches capacity or registration closes.

How many players are on a team?

Rosters must include 6–10 players. Six players compete in each league match across three lines.

What level is the league?

The Intermediate division is for players rated NPRP 3.2–3.8.

When are matches played?

Matches are played on Wednesdays in two sessions: two matches start at 6:30 PM and two at 8:00 PM. At Replay Club and Padel X, some 8:00 PM matches start as soon as courts from the first session are free; the schedule marks those courts "when free". With eight teams, every team plays every Wednesday, 10 matches in total (every other team once, plus three rematches), and every team gets exactly five 8:00 PM starts. A match normally lasts 1.5–2 hours, and all three lines of a match start at the same time. Your team's link at the top of this page shows your start time each week.

Where are matches played?

Matches rotate by week between three clubs: The Replay Club (Boynton Beach), Padel X Boca Raton and XCEL Padel – West Palm HQ. Oct 7 is at XCEL, Oct 14 at Replay and Oct 21 at Padel X, and that order repeats every three weeks. The semifinals and final are at The Replay Club. Court assignments for all three clubs are on the schedule. See Match Venues for addresses and directions.

How do I find when and where my team plays?

Use the team links at the top of this page to see only your matches, night by night, with your opponent, the club and the court for each of your three lines. You can also tap any team name in the standings on the schedule page. For the full league schedule, open Schedule & Standings and tap Follow to get updates.

What does it cost?

The team registration fee is $400. The host club collects the separate $40 per-player match fee before play begins.

What information does a captain need?

Have the team name and each player's full name, phone number, and email address ready. The captain is also the primary contact for scheduling and score reporting, and sends the team lineup for Lines 1, 2 and 3 at least 3 days before each match.

Will players sign a waiver?

Yes. The league waiver is presented as part of the Playpass registration flow and must be accepted before registration is completed.

How does a team match work?

Each team match contains three lines. A Line 1 win earns 6 points, Line 2 earns 3 points, and Line 3 earns 2 points. Matches use best-of-three sets and the league's star-point rule.

How do I read the standings?

The standings table counts each line as its own game, so every team plays three games on a match night, one per line.

Who qualifies for the finals?

The top four teams advance to the playoffs. Semifinals are played on the Monday of the final week, and the two winners meet in the championship final on Wednesday at The Replay Club. Playoff matches are best of three sets with the star point.
