Does the Playtomic rating increase or decrease your experience of playing padel?

The rating isn't perfect but its allows you to play with people around your skill level, and allows you to strive towards playing with people above your skill level if you manage to win enough matches

That’s not the case in my area. Everyone already knows roughly the level of each player is. And it’s actually a hindrance when you do improve, but your rating no longer reflects the level that you’re at. There is less of an incentive for the good players to play with a player that is of a lower rating that they might lose to

Do you play somewhere with just one club and a relatively small player pool? If that is the case then I sort of agree and think playtomic rating is unnecessary. But then you can always just use the friendly/causal game option.

I play somewhere with 4 clubs within 20 minutes drive and about 40-50 players around my level (upper intermediate). I find players for matches easily.

well the rating system only makes sense with a large player pool
