Squash’s leading player rating platform SquashLevels is making a move into padel following the developers’ launch of a wider racket sports system called LevelTech.
Designed to be the most accurate rating platform for racket sports, LevelTech uses a powerful algorithm to provide up-to-date player stats and metrics to engaged global communities.
LevelTech will provide federations and organisations around the world with a highly accurate ratings platform that uses algorithms to replace outdated systems across all racket sports. The UK-based technology company provides world leading licenced and white labelled technology that gives all players – from the everyday amateur to a world No.1 – an up-to-date ratings based on each point they play.
The connected community then allows all players to follow, interact, compare, and keep track of performances, while finding and arranging competitive matches.
This announcement follows a £350,000 grant from Innovate UK that will aid LevelTech’s growth through research and development. The grant will be used for research and development to replicate the algorithm’s accuracy that has been proven across squash singles and apply it to the complexities of doubles across all racket sports.
Jethro Binns, Co-Founder of LevelTech said: “Over the last few years, we have been proving the SquashLevels algorithm works effectively and we’re proud to be chosen by over 30,000 regular users while being officially endorsed by the World Squash Federation and the Professional Squash Association.
“Obtaining these learnings, scaling into new territories across all racket sports is a natural progression for LevelTech. The opportunities that can be leveraged by bringing new technology to replace outdated systems are really exciting and transformative, making racket sports more accessible, enjoyable and accurate.”
Richard Bickers, Co-Founder of LevelTech added: “I have always been passionate about using technology to enhance player experience. Having built the algorithm for SquashLevels to provide the most accurate rating platform for squash, we’re delighted to be taking our learnings as LevelTech and applying them across all racket sports, both singles and doubles.”
