Helvetic Padel Series
A proposal
Amateur league · all 26 cantons
A partner, a division at your level, and six matches to put on a calendar. When you play, the table moves. Then the next phase starts.
Example · Phase 1
28 Sep — 20 Dec
Four matches still need a day. That is the week.
Getting in
You don’t start from a national ranking. You start from one person, then a division near you.
A team is two players. Come as a pair, or find someone at your level. Nothing else starts before that.
A canton, and a level. You join teams close to you, not a national list of strangers.
At the opening of the phase, six opponents are already there. The dates are not. Putting them on the calendar is the season.
How a match gets a day
Nobody assigns the date. The four players do, and the league only has one job: get them to a day they can all play.
Each player keeps their availability current. A suggestion appears once all four have spoken.
You pick the soonest time that works, then confirm the day, the hour and the club together.
The court is reserved by the home team, as soon as the date is set. The cost stays between the four players.
After the match, the score enters the table. The next line on the sheet is already waiting.
The year
Each phase is its own sheet. Play well and the next one starts a division higher. At the end of the year, one Swiss champion per division.

Then
Up The top of the division is promoted.
Down The bottom is relegated.
Again Players already in don’t relearn the league. A new phase is a new sheet, and the same week to organise.
A new player should land on a first match. Someone already registered should land on the new phase. Everyone else should see which line on the sheet still needs a date.
