Pick your sports. Tennis, pickleball, padel, or all three. Each sport gets its own rating, record and preferences.

Play, then report. Chat to sort the details, meet at the court, and log the score after. Rated results move your RPR.
Sports
Each sport has its own RPR, record and preferences.
Pick a sport, take a quick assessment, set how you like to play. Done.
Taking a break? Pause a sport and you'll disappear from it for now. Your rating, record and booked matches stay put. Resume anytime.
Remove hides the sport from your profile. Your rating history and booked matches are kept, and you can add it back later.
Your rating
RPR is your Raqvia skill level for each sport. It starts with a quick assessment and adjusts as you play verified matches.
Self-rated: from your assessment. Provisional: after 1–2 confirmed Rated results. Official: after 3.
Only confirmed Rated results count, singles and doubles. Friendly games and practice never change your RPR. In doubles, ratings move a little less than in singles.
You can retake the assessment while you're Self-rated, once every 30 days.
RPR is its own rating. It is not a USTA, NTRP, UTR, DUPR, USA Pickleball or Playtomic rating.
Play
Swipe right to say yes, left to pass. Or tap a card for the full story. Passed by mistake? Hit Undo.
Players and games in your sport around your city that fit your level (within ±2.0 RPR) and the game types you like. Blocked players never show up.
Ask to join sends the host a request. Invite to play asks a player to join you. It's only on when they say yes.
You can have up to 10 requests and 10 invites waiting at once. Unanswered ones expire after 48 hours.
Looking to Play is per sport and switches off on its own. Turn it on when you're free soon so players can invite you. Your usual times (Availability) live in your profile and help us suggest games.
Game types
Rated games count toward your RPR. Friendly games are just for fun, and nobody's rating moves. Practice types are always Friendly.
Matches and results
Tennis and padel: enter up to 3 sets, winner's games first. Played a 10-point match tiebreak? Enter it as the last set, like 10-8.
Pickleball: pick games to 11, 15 or 21. Best of 3, win by 2.
The host puts everyone on Team 1 or Team 2. Partners who joined together stay together.
Singles: both players report and the scores must match. Doubles: the host reports and one player on the other team confirms.
Scores don't match, or someone taps "Something's off"? We review it and sort it out. Nobody's rating moves until it's settled.
Private match feedback, open for 7 days. Only we see it.
