Elementary
I keep the ball in play more and am starting to use the lob and the back glass.

Level 4, Intermediate
I use the walls, move up to the net and reposition with my partner.
Level 5, Proficient

Level 6, Advanced
I stay reliable in fast play, vary my spin and defend double walls.
Level 7, Expert
My level is confirmed by strong competitive results.
Level 8, Elite
I play at the highest national or international level.

Before you jump in
Is this the same as the FFT ranking?
No. The FFT (French Tennis Federation) ranking is based on sanctioned tournaments. The Palarena scale is for choosing games and partners, and there’s no conversion between the two.
Can I retake the questionnaire?
No. You take it once per sport, and your level can’t be edited by hand. Take your time and answer based on how you usually play.
Can other players see my level?
Yes. It shows on your profile in partner search, and next to your first name in the matches you join.
