ForordForeword

International Padel Federation (herefter FIP) er det styrende organ for padel. Til dets opgaver hører at fastlægge padelreglerne.The International Padel Federation (henceforth known as FIP) is the governing body of the game of padel. Included among its obligations is to determine the Rules of Padel.#

FIP's sportsafdeling følger løbende spillet og anbefaler, når den finder det nødvendigt, ændringer til generalforsamlingen, som er den øverste myndighed for ændringer af reglerne i henhold til vedtægterne.The FIP sports department will continually monitor the game and when it considers it necessary recommend changes at the General Meeting, which is the ultimate authority when making any changes to the Rules, in abidance with the Bye-Laws.#

Bemærk: Medmindre andet er angivet, gælder alle henvisninger til "spiller" i disse regler både mandlige og kvindelige spillere.Note: Except when stipulated otherwise, all references to “player” in these Rules relates to both male and female players.#

BanenThe court

MålDimensions

Banen er et rektangel på 10 meter i bredden og 20 meter i længden (indvendige mål) med en tolerance på 0,5 %.The court is a rectangle 10 meters wide by 20 meters long (interior measurements) with a 0.5% tolerance.#

Rektanglet deles på midten af et net. På hver side af nettet og parallelt med det, i en afstand af 6,95 m, ligger servelinjerne. Området mellem nettet og servelinjerne deles på midten af en vinkelret linje, den midterste servelinje.This rectangle is divided in half by a net. On either side of and parallel to the net at a distance of 6.95 m are the service lines. The area between the net and the service lines is divided in half by a perpendicular line called the central service line.#

Den midterste servelinje skal fortsætte mindst 20 cm forbi servelinjen. Hvad angår underlag og linjer, skal banens to halvdele være helt symmetriske. Alle linjer skal være 5 cm brede. Linjerne bør helst være hvide eller sorte for at give god kontrast til underlagets farve.The central service line will extend for minimum 20 cm beyond the service line. When referring to surface and line layout, the two halves of the court must be absolutely symmetrical. All lines must have a width of 5 cm. The colour of the lines are preferably white or black, for better contrast with the colour of floor surface.#

Den frie højde skal være mindst 6 meter over hele banen, uden elementer (f.eks. lamper), der rager ind i dette rum. For nye anlæg anbefales en fri højde på mindst 8 meter over hele banen, uden forhindringer i dette rum.Minimum height must be 6 meters throughout the court. With no elements (i.e. spotlights) which obstruct this area. As for the new facilities it is suggested that the minimum free height should be of 8 meters throughout the court, with no elements of obstruction in this area.#

NettetNet

1. Nettet skal være 10 meter langt og 0,88 m højt på midten, stigende til 0,92 m ved enderne, med en maksimal tolerance på 0,005 m.1. The net must be 10 meters long and 0.88 high at the center, rising to 0.92 meters at the ends, with a maximum tolerance of 0.005 meters.#

2. Nettet hænger i en metalwire med en diameter på højst 0,01 m; enderne er fastgjort til to sidestolper med en højde på højst 1,05 m, eller til en del af banekonstruktionen, der giver korrekt ophæng og stramning.2. The net is suspended by a metal cable with a maximum diameter of 0.01 meters; the ends are attached to two lateral posts with a maximum height of 1.05 meters. Or a part of the court structure which allows the correct suspension and tension.#

3. Mekanismen, der strammer netwiren, skal være udformet, så den ikke kan løsne sig uventet eller udgøre en risiko for spillerne.3. The mechanism used to give the cable tension in the net must be designed in such a way that it cannot loosen unexpectedly or constitute a risk to the players.#

4. Netstolpernes yderside skal flugte med banens sidebegrænsning (åbning, indgang eller trådhegn). Stolperne kan være runde eller firkantede, men skal have afrundede kanter.4. The outer side of the net posts should coincide with the lateral limits of the court, (opening, entrance or metallic fence). They may be circular or square but must have rounded edges.#

5. Nettet skal have et hvidt bånd på toppen, der måler mellem 5,0 og 6,3 cm, når det er monteret, med strammewiren indeni. Et ekstra bånd med reklame i valgfri farve, som ikke må forstyrre spillet, kan tilføjes. Båndet må under ingen omstændigheder være højere end 11,0 cm.5. The net must be capped with a white strip measuring between 5.0 and 6.3 cm once in place, with the tension cable beneath it. An additional strip with advertisement insertions, of any color, that must not interfere with the course of play, may be incorporated. In any case, the strip cannot be higher than 11.0 cm.#

6. Det er forbudt at fastgøre noget på netmaskerne. Maskerne må gerne males med reklame, så længe det ikke påvirker spillets normale gang. Nettet skal være helt udspændt, så det udfylder rummet mellem de to netstolper og banens underlag; der må ikke være mellemrum mellem nettets ender og stolperne. Det må dog ikke være stramt.6. It is prohibited to affix any item on the net strings. It is allowed to paint the strings of the net for advertising purposes as long as it does not affect the regular course of play. The net must be fully extended so that it fills the space between the two net posts and the court surface, there may be no spaces between the extremes of the net and the posts. However, it should not be tense.#

7. Netmaskerne skal være af syntetisk fiber og så tætte, at bolden ikke kan passere gennem nettet.7. The net mesh must be made of synthetic fiber and the weave sufficiently narrow so that the ball cannot pass through the net.#

IndhegningEnclosures

Banen skal være helt indhegnet. Endevæggene skal indvendigt måle 10 meter og sidernes indvendige længde 20 meter.The court must be completely enclosed. The ends measured from the inside must be 10 meters long and the inside length of the sides 20 meters long.#

Alle samlinger skal udføres i materialer, der giver bolden et ensartet afsæt, og i områder med trådhegn, hvor afsættet ikke er ensartet, på følgende måde:All areas with joins must be constructed using materials that allow a uniform bounce of the ball and in areas with metal fencing where the bounce is not uniform in the following manner:#

EndevæggeEnds

En samlet højde på 4 meter, hvoraf de første 3 m er væg, der kan være af ethvert gennemsigtigt eller massivt materiale (glas, mursten osv.), men som skal opfylde kravene til vægge under afsnittet "Sider", og den sidste meter er trådhegn.A total height of 4 meters the first 3 m of which is wall, that could be of any transparent or solid material (crystal, bricks, etc.) but with characteristics must be complied with the requests indicated in section “Sides” for walls, and the last 1 meter is metallic fence.#

SiderSides

Reglementet tillader to varianter af sideindhegningen:Regulation allows two variations on the lateral/side enclosures:#

1. Variant 1: Trappeformede vægområder i begge ender, første trin 3 meter højt × 2 meter langt og andet trin 2 meter højt × 2 meter langt. Trådhegn fuldender indhegningen op til 3 meter på de midterste 6 meter og op til 4 meter i begge ender.1. Variant 1: Made up of stepped wall areas at both ends, the first step 3 meters high x 2 meters long and the second step 2 meters high x 2 meters long. Areas of metallic fencing complete the enclosure of up to 3 meters in the center 6 meters and up to 4 meters at both ends.#

2. Variant 2, glas: Et vægområde i begge ender, tre (3) meter højt og fire (4) meter langt, uden trin. Trådhegn fuldender indhegningen op til fire (4) meter i højden på de yderste to (2) meter.2. Variant 2 Crystal: Composed by a wall area at both end zones, three (3) meters high by four (4) meters in length, without step. Metal mesh areas complete the enclosure up to four (4) meters in height at the extreme two (2) meters.#

Alle mål er indvendige mål. Trådhegnet placeres altid i flugt med væggens inderside. Hvis trådhegnet er monteret i en ramme, skal dets øverste del være fri for elementer, der ikke hører til metalkonstruktionen (f.eks. kabler, eltavler, lamper osv.). Væggene kan være af ethvert gennemsigtigt eller uigennemsigtigt materiale (glas, mursten osv.), men altid med den rette konsistens, der sikrer et ensartet afsæt. Uanset materialet skal overfladen være ensartet, hård og helt glat og tåle kropskontakt og glidende bolde. Uigennemsigtige vægge skal have én ensartet farve, som ikke påvirker spillet, og som tydeligt adskiller sig fra underlagets farve. Logoer må påtrykkes eller males, men højst ét pr. væg og i en størrelse og farve, der ikke forstyrrer spillernes udsyn. Glasbaner skal overholde standarderne for hærdet glas/planglas:All dimensions are from the inside of the court. The metallic fencing is always placed in line with the inner side of the wall. In the case the metallic fencing is fixed to frame, it’s upper part must be free of elements that are not part of the metallic structure (i.e.: cables, electrical boxes, light devices, etc.). The walls may be made of any transparent or opaque material (glass, brick, etc.) but always with the correct consistency and which ensures a uniform bounce of the ball. Whatever the material it must have a uniform surface which is hard and completely smooth, and which allow bodily contact or sliding balls. The color of opaque walls should be of one, uniform color which does not affect the course of play, and clearly different than the floor surface colour. It will be allowed the logo imprinting or painting but not more than one for single wall and with dimension and colours that do not interfere with player’s vision Glass courts must comply with the standards for tempered/plate glass:#

Trådhegnet skal bestå af svejste romber. Hullernes diagonal må ikke være under 5 cm og ikke over 7,08 cm. Anbefalet trådtykkelse er mellem 2 mm og 3 mm, højst 4 mm, og med en stramning, der lader bolden springe på det. Bruges et svejst hegn, skal alle svejsepunkter være beskyttet på begge sider mod snit og rifter. Er det svejste net ikke flettet, skal det være i kvadrater, ikke romber. De vandrette tråde skal sidde på indersiden og de lodrette på ydersiden. Er hegnet blot snoet, skal snoningen sidde på banens yderside og være forsvarligt beskyttet. Samlinger må ikke have skarpe eller spidse kanter. Begge typer trådhegn skal danne en plan og lodret flade og sikre, at ovenstående egenskaber altid bevares.The metallic fence should be made up of rhomboids soldered. The size with holes diagonal must not be less than 5 cm and no larger than 7.08 cm. Recommended thickness of the wire is between 2 mm and 3 mm. With a maximum of 4 mm and a tension which allows the ball to bounce on it. If a soldered fence is used all points of solder must be protected on both sides as to ensure against cuts or scratches. If the soldered mesh is not interlaced, it must be in squares not rhomboids. The parallel metal threads must be on the inside and the vertical threads on the outside. If the fence is simply twisted the torsion mechanism must be on the outside of the court and conveniently protected. The joins or seams must not have any sharp or pointed edges. Both types of metallic fence must form a flat and vertical surface and must ensure that the above characteristics are always maintained.#

UnderlagGround surface

1. Banens underlag kan være af beton, syntetisk materiale eller kunstgræs, forudsat at det giver bolden et regelmæssigt afsæt.1. The surface of the court should be and may be made of cement, synthetic material or artificial grass, provided that it allows a regular bounce of the ball.#

2. Tilladte og foretrukne farver er grøn, blå eller terrakotta eller lignende nuancer, og der må kun være én farve på hele underlaget, som tydeligt skal adskille sig fra væggenes farve.2. Permitted and preferred colours are green, blue or terracotta, or their various like tones and be only one for the whole floor surface, and clearly different than the wall surface colour.#

3. Underlaget skal være så plant, at niveauforskelle på banen er under 3 mm målt med en 3 m retholt (1/1000).3. The surface level should be such that the differences in the inside levels are less than 3 mm measured with a rule of 3 m (1/1000).#

4. For underlag uden dræning må den maksimale tværgående afvandingshældning være 1 % fra midten mod banens yderkanter.4. For surfaces without drainage the maximum transverse evacuation slope must be1% from the center towards the outer edges of the court.#

5. Syntetiske underlag og kunstgræs skal opfylde kravene i bilaget om banegodkendelse (Annex Courts' Homologation) udstedt af International Padel Federation (FIP).5. For synthetic and artificial grass surfaces the following requisites must be complied with the Annex Courts’ Homologation issued by the International Padel Federation (FIP).#

AdgangAccess

Indgangene til banen placeres i begge sider eller kun i den ene og skal være symmetriske om midten. Der kan være én eller to i hver side, med eller uden dør. Er der på en bane uden dør monteret en bjælke eller kanal af metal eller andet materiale i gulvet ved indgangen for at forstærke konstruktionen, betragtes den som en del af hegnets ramme i forhold til disse regler. Er der intet element monteret i gulvet, angiver den lodrette projektion af hegnsrammen banens indvendige kant, uanset om der er afmærket eller malet en linje.Access to the court are placed in both of the lateral sides or just in one of them and must be symmetric with the center. There may be one or two on each side, with or without a door. In in a court without door, it is installed onto the floor, in the area corresponding to the court access, some kind of metallic or other material beam or duct in order to reinforce the whole structure, it will be considered as part of the fence frame for any reference of application of the current regulations. In the case there are not any element installed onto the floor, the vertical projection of the fence frame will indicate the internal court edge, independently if there are a signed or painted line or not.#

Indgangene skal have følgende mål:Access dimensions must be as follows:#

- Med én sideindgang i hver side skal åbningen være mindst 1,05 × 2,0 meter og højst 2,20 × 2,20 m (se tegning).- With one lateral access per side the opening must be a minimum of 1.05 x 2.0 meters and a maximum of 2.20 x 2.20 m (See diagram).#

- Med to sideindgange i hver side skal åbningerne være mindst 0,72 × 2,00 m og højst 1,10 × 2,20 m (se tegning).- With two lateral accesses per side the openings must be a minimum of 0.72 x 2.00 m and a maximum of 1.10 x 2.20 m (See diagram).#

Bemærk: Offentlige anlæg skal overholde kravene til adgang og fjernelse af barrierer for personer med handicap.Note: Public installations must comply with the access standards, suppression bars and architectural bars for disabled people.#

Hvis der er døre, skal håndtagene sidde på ydersiden og ikke stikke ind på banen.In case of existing doors, the handles must be placed on the outside and not protrude on the inside.#

Sikkerhedszone og spil uden for banenSafety area & out-of-court play

For at spil uden for banen er tilladt, skal hver side af banen have 2 indgange. Der må ikke være forhindringer uden for banen inden for et område på mindst 3 meter i bredden (4 meter anbefales) og 4 meter i længden på hver side og mindst 3 meter i højden (se tegning).For out-of-court play each side of the court must have 2 access points. There cannot be any obstacles outside the court within an area of no less than 3 meters wide (4 meters are recommendable) and 4 meters long on either side and a minimum of 3 meters high (see diagram).#

Indgangen skal være beskyttet på tre sider – siderne og oversiden – samt netstolpen med et stødabsorberende materiale (f.eks. skumgummi, gummi, neopren osv.) på mindst 2 cm tykkelse. Beskyttelsen skal være solidt fastgjort til metalkonstruktionen og stolperne med tilstrækkelig fastgørelse eller velcro til at sikre polstringens virkning og i videst muligt omfang begrænse, at den rager ind på banen og forstyrrer spillet.The access must be protected in its three sides: lateral and upper sides, as well as the net post, with a product to cushion against player contact (i.e.: spongy rubber, rubber, neoprene, etc.) with a thickness not less than 2 cm. These protections must be firmly fixed to the metal structure and to the posts, with enough fastening or Velcro to guarantee the efficiency of the anti- shock cushion and also to reduce as much as possible the interference to the game due to its projection to the court inner space.#

BelysningLighting

Kunstigt lys skal være ensartet og placeret, så det ikke giver synsproblemer for spillerne, dommerteamet eller publikum.Artificial light must be uniform and placed in a way that does not cause difficulties of vision for the players, the team of umpires or the audience.#

Se bilaget om banegodkendelse (Annex Courts' Homologation) udstedt af International Padel Federation (FIP).See Annex Courts’ Homologation issued by the International Padel Federation (FIP).#

Lysmaster skal stå uden for banen. Står de inden for sikkerhedszonen, er spil uden for banen ikke tilladt. Lamperne skal have en højde fra underlaget til projektorernes underkant på mindst 6 meter.Light poles must be located outside the court. If these fall within the safety area, the out of court game will not be allowed. Lights must have a minimum altitude from the ground to the inferior part of the projectors of 6 meters.#

For nye anlæg anbefales en højde fra underlaget til projektorernes underkant på mindst 8 meter, hvis de er monteret inden for banen målt som den lodrette projektion af sidevæggene. Lys monteret uden for banens vægge kan have andre højder.As for the new facilities it is suggested they have a minimum height from the ground to the inferior part of the light projectors of 8 meters if they are installed inside the court considering the vertical projection of the court side walls. Different heights for lighting can be installed for lights installed outside the court walls#

Til tv-transmission og filmoptagelse kræves en lodret belysning på mindst 1000 lux. Kravet kan dog stige med afstanden mellem motiv og kamera. Se den nævnte standard for yderligere oplysninger.For Television broadcasts and film recording a level of vertical illumination of at least 1000 lux is needed. However, this could increase with the distance of object from the camera. For more information of the aforementioned consult the quoted standard.#

OrienteringOrientation

For udendørs anlæg anbefales det, at banens længdeakse vender nord-syd, med en tilladt afvigelse mellem nord-nordøst og nord-nordvest.Recommendation for the longitudinal axis of the court in outdoor facilities is N-S admitting a variation between N-NE and N- NW#

Regel 1. Optælling i et partiRule 1. Score in a game

OptællingScore

Mulighed 1: Fordel (advantage)Option 1: Advantage#

1. Ved det første vundne point kaldes "15", ved det andet "30", ved det tredje "40" og ved det fjerde "parti". Dog kaldes "lige" (deuce), hvis begge par har vundet tre point. Det næste vundne point giver "fordel", og vinder samme par også det følgende point, vinder de partiet. Tabes pointet, går stillingen tilbage til "lige". Sådan fortsættes, indtil et par har vundet de to point i træk, der kræves for at vinde partiet. (Et parti kaldes også et game.)1. On the first point won “15” will be called, on the second point won “30”, the third point “40” and the fourth “game”. Except, if each pair have won three points, at which time “deuce” will be called. The following point won “advantage” and if the same pair wins the next point they win the game. If the point is lost the score will return to “deuce”. And so on until one pair of players has won the two consecutive points which are needed to win the game.#

2. Det første par, der vinder 6 partier, altid med mindst 2 partiers forskel, vinder sættet. Ved stillingen 5-5 skal der spilles to partier mere for at vinde 7-5. Står det 6-6, spilles der tiebreak.2. The first pair to win 6 games, always with a minimum advantage of 2, will win the set. In the case of a tie (draw) at 5 games the players will have to play two more games, to win by 7-5. However, if there is a tie at 6 games a “tie-break” or sudden death will be applied.#

3. Kampen spilles bedst af tre sæt. Man skal vinde to af tre sæt for at vinde kampen.3. The match is the best of three sets. Two out of three sets need to be won in order to win the match.#

4. Står det ét sæt til hvert hold, og kun hvis det er fastsat på forhånd, kan tredje sæt spilles uden tiebreak, så det par, der først opnår to partiers forskel efter 6-6, vinder.4. In the case of a tie of one set each, and always previously established, the third set may be played without a “tie-break” so, if there is a tie at six games, the pair who gain a difference of two games win.#

Nyt i 2026New in 2026Mulighed 2: Star PointOption 2: Star Point#

Nyt i 2026New in 20261. Når et par vinder sit første point, kaldes "15", ved det andet "30", ved det tredje "40" og ved det fjerde "parti". Dog kaldes "lige 1" (deuce 1), hvis begge par har vundet tre point. Det næste vundne point giver "fordel 1" til det par, der vandt pointet; vinder samme par også det følgende point, vinder de partiet, men tabes pointet, går stillingen til "lige 2". Det næste vundne point giver "fordel 2" til det par, der vandt pointet; vinder samme par også det følgende point, vinder de partiet, men tabes pointet, går stillingen til "lige 3", og der spilles et afgørende point, kaldet "Star Point". Det modtagende par vælger, om de vil modtage serven i højre eller venstre side af banen. Spillerne i det modtagende par må ikke bytte plads for at modtage det afgørende point. Det par, der vinder Star Point, vinder partiet.1. When a pair wins its first point, “15” will be called, on the second point won “30”. At the third point “40” and the fourth “game”. Except, if each pair have won three points, at which time “deuce 1” will be called. The following point won “advantage 1” is called in favor of the pairs who won the point: then, if the same pair wins the next point they win the game, if the point is lost the score will return to “deuce 2”. The following point won “advantage 2” is called in favor of the pairs who won the point: then, if the same pair wins the next point they win the game, if the point is lost the score will return to “deuce 3” and a deciding point called the “Star Point” will be played. The receiving pair will choose whether to receive the service on the right or the left side of the court. The players of the receiving pair cannot change positions to receive the deciding point. The pair that wins the “Star Point” wins the game.#

Nyt i 2026New in 20262. I mixkampe er det i det afgørende point spilleren af samme køn som serveren, der modtager. Spillerne i det modtagende par må ikke bytte plads for at modtage serven.2. In mixed matches, in the deciding point the player receiving will be the same sex as the server. The players of the receiving pair cannot change positions to receive serve.#

Mulighed 3: Golden PointOption 3: Golden Point#

1. "Uden fordel" (golden point). Serverens stilling kaldes først, således:1. The “no advantage” (golden point). The score called is that of the server as follows:#

- Intet point: "nul" (love)- No point “Love”#

- Første point: "15"- First point “15”#

- Andet point: "30"- Second point “30”#

- Tredje point: "40"- Third point “40”#

- Fjerde point: "parti"- Fourth point “Game”#

2. Har begge par vundet tre point hver, kaldes "lige" (deuce), og der spilles et afgørende point kaldet "golden point".

If a player serves out of turn, the player who should have served must do so as soon as the error is discovered. All points won before the error are valid. If there has been a single service fault up to the time of the error it will not be taken into account. In the case that the game has finished before the error is discovered the order of serve will remain as is until the conclusion of the set.#

10. Serveren må ikke serve, før modtageren er klar. Modtageren skal dog inden for rimelighedens grænser tilpasse sig serverens rytme og være klar til at modtage, når serveren er klar til at serve.10.

However, the player receiving will adapt within reasonable to the rhythm of the server and will be ready to receive the service when the server is ready to serve.#

If during a match or tie-break, the receiving order is altered by the receiving players, they will have to continue in this manner until the end of the game or tie-break in which the mistake occurred.
