Every question, answered

cørt Club is a padel company built around the grassroots game in Britain. There are five parts to it: a shop for padel kit, live world and British rankings you can search by name, cørt Play for running leagues and Americano nights, padel news that updates itself through the day, and cørt TV for match coverage and brand partnerships. It is all padel, and nothing else.

Yes. cørt is padel only. We do not cover tennis, pickleball or squash, and everything we build is for padel players, padel clubs and padel brands.

cørt Club is a British company based in Sheffield, England. We ship across the United Kingdom, to the European Union, and to a list of other countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the UAE.

No. The shop, the rankings, the news and the racket exchange information are open to anybody, with no account needed. cørt membership is a separate thing and it is not open yet.

Use the contact page on this site and the message reaches the cørt team directly. Brands wanting to sell through cørt should apply through the partner portal instead, which is a different door.

cørt Club is run by CORT CLUB LTD, a company registered in England and Wales, company number 17325437, based in Sheffield.

Padel kit. Today that is cørt's own performance padel socks, sold as a two pair pack. Rackets, bags and apparel from partner brands are being added as those brands connect their catalogues to the cørt store, so the range grows rather than launching all at once.

UK delivery is free on the cørt two pair sock pack, with an express option at £6.99 if you want it faster. On everything else UK delivery is £4.99, and free once your basket passes £24.99. Delivery outside the UK is worked out at checkout for your country.

Yes. We deliver to the European Union and to a further list of countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, Norway and the United Arab Emirates. The exact delivery price for your address appears at checkout before you pay.

Orders are packed and posted from the United Kingdom. You get an email the moment your order is on its way, and if the parcel carries a tracking number it is in that email.

Yes. If something is not right, email us through the contact page within 14 days of it arriving and we will sort out a return or a replacement. Unworn items in their original packaging are the easy case.

Both, and the product page always tells you which. Anything sold by cørt itself carries the cørt name. Anything from a partner brand carries that brand's name as the maker, and that brand packs and posts it.

Yes. Payment is handled by Shopify, the same checkout used by millions of shops, and cørt never sees or stores your card details.

cørt Play is the software for running padel properly: Americano and Mexicano nights, seasonal leagues, live leaderboards and a player rating that follows you from one event to the next. It is built for the person organising the night as much as for the players on court.

Americano, where pairs rotate and everybody plays with everybody; Mexicano, where the next round is drawn from the live standings so the closest matches happen on their own; and full seasonal leagues with divisions, fixtures, promotion and relegation.

A single number that says what level you play at, built from the matches you actually play rather than from who you know. It moves with your results and it travels with you between clubs and events.

League sign up is open, and you can join the waitlist for the rest. Americano and Mexicano are the first formats going live; full league management follows.

That is exactly who it is for. Join the waitlist from the cørt Play page and tell us what you run, and we will bring your club on as the formats open up.

cørt Club is the community layer: local events you can find in one place, players at your level you can actually reach, a rating that means something, and sponsor backed competition with real prizes rather than a trophy and a group chat that goes cold.

Not yet. Membership is marked coming soon on this site deliberately, because we are not taking money for something we cannot deliver today. You can register interest now and you will be told the day it opens.

A structured social on a real court. You can turn up on your own, get drawn into games, play a proper set of rounds and leave with your rating updated. No captain, no clique, no organising a four yourself.

It starts in Sheffield and the surrounding area, which is where cørt is based, and spreads as clubs join. If you run a club elsewhere and want cørt events on your courts, tell us through the contact page.

No. Registering interest is free and it does not commit you to anything.

From padel's own sources: the international federation, the professional tours, the LTA, and British club and venue news. Stories are gathered automatically, several times a day, and shown with a link back to whoever published them.

Six times a day. There is no editor typing it in, so there is nothing to go stale over a weekend, and a finished tournament does not sit on the page pretending it is still on.

Both, on purpose. New courts opening, club chains raising money, university padel and county level news sit alongside the world tour, because that is where most British padel actually happens.

Yes, and we want them. Send it through the contact page with a link, and if it stands up it goes in.

Two official sources and nothing else. The world men's and women's lists come from the International Padel Federation, FIP. The British lists, including the senior age groups, come from the LTA's padel rankings. Nothing on the page is typed in by hand or estimated by us.

Type your name into the search box at the top of the rankings page. It searches every ranked player we hold, 9,390 of them, British and world, and shows your position, your county or country and your points.

Because the lists only carry players who currently hold ranking points. If you have not played an LTA sanctioned padel event, or your points have expired, you will not appear yet. Play a ranked event and you will be there at the next update.

Every week, and immediately after the LTA or FIP publishes a new ranking week, which is what happens after a tournament weekend or a grading update. If the source has not moved, the page does not pretend it has.

Yes. You can filter by tour, by men or women, by age group including 40+, 50+ and 60+, by country or British county, and by position band such as the top ten or the top hundred. The filters work together and alongside the name search.

Name, ranking position, points, and county or country. Nothing else. We do not publish membership numbers, dates of birth, addresses or contact details.

Points come from results at LTA sanctioned padel events, with bigger events carrying more, and they roll off over time so the list reflects recent form. The LTA publishes the full method, and the rankings page links straight to it.

cørt TV is padel coverage built for how people actually watch: league nights and finals filmed properly, short highlight clips and rally edits for social, and player stories from British courts.

That is what it is for. Get in touch through the cørt TV page with the event, the date and the venue, and we will tell you honestly whether we can be there.

Brands can back leagues, nights and coverage, with placement across the matches, the highlights and the cørt channels rather than a logo stuck in a corner. There is a sponsorship pack on the site with the detail, and the cørt TV page is where you start the conversation.

Through cørt's own channels and the clips shared from them. It is short form and social first, which is where padel audiences actually are, rather than behind a subscription.

You apply through the cørt partner portal, which takes a couple of minutes and signs you in straight away. cørt approves you, you accept the partner terms on screen, and then you connect your shop. You tick the products you want cørt to sell, cørt approves them, and they appear on the cørt store on their own.

No, but it is the quickest route. If you are on Shopify you type your shop address and your catalogue comes across in one press, with pictures, prices and stock. If you are not, send us a product feed or the spreadsheet format we already accept and it works the same way.

No. The connection is read only. cørt reads your catalogue and your stock levels and never writes anything back into your store.

Nothing up front. There is no listing fee, no monthly fee and no warehousing to hand over. cørt earns only when something sells, on the affiliation share the two of us agree.

You tell us what you are happy with. When you apply you propose the affiliation share your margins can carry, and cørt either accepts it or comes back with a counter, so the number is agreed between us rather than imposed. Once it is agreed it is written against your brand and it is what every sale uses.

You do, for now. A customer buys on cørt, you are told what to pack and where to send it, and you dispatch it directly. cørt holding and shipping your stock for you, through HAF, is being built and is marked coming soon in the portal, so nobody can sign up to a service that is not open.

Every sale is recorded against your brand with the agreed share applied, so you can see what is owed rather than take our word for it. The payout schedule is agreed with you when you are approved.

Yes. Your stock levels keep themselves in step with your own shop, so cørt does not sell something you have run out of.

Yes, item by item. You nominate what you want listed, and you can switch a product off at any time without losing its history.

A way to trade in a racket you have outgrown and put what it is worth straight towards your next one. Rackets come back in through clubs, get graded and restored by approved partners, and are sold on with their own cørt record so the next player knows exactly what they are buying.

Not yet, and the page says so. It is marked coming soon while the club drop off points and the repair partners are put in place.

It gets graded on condition, model and spec, and the grade and the price are published openly rather than negotiated in a car park. What it is worth comes off the price of your next racket.

Yes, that is how it is designed to work. Clubs become cørt exchange points so nobody has to post a racket or meet a stranger. Get in touch through the contact page if you run a club.
