01 · The CPPH ranking

13 tiers, 5 disciplines: every ranking in its place.

The Weekly Points Ranking (Classement Par Points Hebdomadaire) is the FFBaD ladder used by every French badminton club. Paak integrates the 13 official tiers, grouped into 4 bands (National, Regional, Departmental, Promotion). Every licensee carries up to five independent rankings, one per discipline, and Paak keeps them all with their CPPH points.

  • Five parallel rankings: one per discipline (MS, WS, MD, WD, XD), always valid
  • Five CPPH points fields: one per discipline, beside the ranking
  • Picked from a list, never typed: no “R7” or “D10”, which don't exist

02 · Licensee profile & performance

A licensee profile that speaks BWF vocabulary.

During the match, one tap on the tracker button adds each shot to the player's profile, from your phone, courtside. The eight statistics follow BWF-official categories, and every action feeds the profile. The live match tracker is part of Paak Pro.

  • Winner / error ratio: total winners, total unforced errors and their ratio, on the profile
  • Win rate & best match: the season's 1-v-1 record, plus per-shot counts (smash, drop, net kill, service ace, long rally)
  • Playing hand, primary grip, preferred discipline, string tension and fastest smash
  • Plumes badge: the 5 youth progression feathers on the same profile

Beyond the court

Less admin, more badminton.

While you are on court, the club keeps running: members register online from your club’s public page, pay their fees and sign their waivers, and everything lands in your dashboard, with nothing to re-type.

Included from the free plan: public page and member portal on every tier.

  • Online registration from your club’s public page, no more paper forms
  • Fees by card or SEPA direct debit, in one or several instalments per your plans
  • Waivers and image-rights consent signed online, timestamped
  • A member portal with no account, no password: schedule, payments, documents
  • Automatic reminders and follow-ups: fees, licences, certificates
  • One-tap roll call, attendance tracked session after session
The CPPH ranking

13 tiers, 4 bands, natively integrated.

A 200-player FFBaD club can generate up to 1,000 rankings to track (5 disciplines × 200 players), published every week by the FFBaD. In Paak each ranking is picked from the list of the 13 tiers: no typos, and the captain sees all 5 disciplines on the profile.

Badminton is unique: the same licensee can be R5 in Men's Singles, D7 in Men's Doubles, and D8 in Mixed Doubles. The 5 official BWF/FFBaD disciplines are independent profile fields, not one field for the whole player.
Youth licensees

Plumes progression, from beginner to confirmed.

The five feathers of the FFBaD PassBad, white to red, are a native profile field. Each junior's current feather is on the profile, from White to Red: coaches see who to prepare for the next step.

FFBaD age categories run from Baby Bad (4-6 years) to Veteran V7+ (65 and over): Mini Bad, Poussin, Benjamin, Minime, Cadet, Junior, Senior, Veteran V1 to V7, as a profile field.
The match log

The score, in badminton's own vocabulary.

No invented stats: exactly the shots a badminton coach needs to record. The eight statistics follow BWF-official categories: attack, service, neutral, endurance, penalty.

Smash
+2 · downward attacking shot, world record 565 km/h (Rankireddy, 2023)
Drop shot
+1.5 · soft placement just behind the net
Net kill
+2 · aggressive finish on a shuttle lifted too high
Service ace
+2 · unreturned serve
Other winner
+1.5 · drive, deception, finishing push
Clear / lob
+0.5 · neutralising shot to the back, resets the rally
Long rally won (13+)
+1 · endurance marker (elite median rally ~7 s)
Unforced error
−1.5 · mishit shuttle with no opponent pressure
Sanctions & cards · BWF Law 16
Yellow (warning)

Red (fault)

−1.5 rating
Black (disqualification)

−5 rating · major infringements
Match format: best of 3 games to 15 points (two clear from 14-all, at most 21), the BWF Laws from 4 January 2027 and the FFBaD standard since 1 September 2026: an interval at 8 in every game, change of ends at 8 in the deciding game. The live scoreboard also plays best of 3 games to 21 and best of 5 games to 11; the coach picks before the first point. No substitutions mid-match.
The licensee profile

FFBaD licensee profile.

Everything an FFBaD club needs to keep on each licensee, on a single profile.

Team leagues

Interclubs: the lineup, the matches, the score.

Create the tie in your division's FFBaD ICN format, Top 12 (6 matches) or Nationale 1 to 3 (8 matches), or your own format. Paak lays out every match, you call up your players with attendance confirmation, and the tie score is worked out from the matches. With Paak Pro a singles match can also be scored live.

The lineup

Each match carries its federation name (MS1, WS2, XD1…) and you line up your players from the team. Paak flags a player lined up for more than two matches (ICN rules, art. 12) or twice in the same discipline: it informs, it never blocks.

In Paak: the 5 per-discipline CPPH rankings sit on each licensee's profile, in front of the captain who picks the team.

After the tie

Each match score is entered game by game, on every plan, checked against the ICN format (best of 3 games to 15, at most 21). A singles match can also be scored live with Paak Pro, in games to 15. In the final phase you can stop the tie once the win is decided (art. 17).

In Paak: each match counts in its players' records, both doubles partners included, and the tie once in the team's.

Paak complements Poona, without replacing it.

Poona is the FFBaD federal back-office: licences, tournament sanctioning, official CPPH. Every club board has access: it's the federal channel. Paak doesn't replace Poona, but handles everything Poona doesn't: the club's daily life.

Compliance · Honorabilité & FFBaD licences

French law of 8 March 2024: tracked for you.

The French law of 8 March 2024 makes club presidents personally liable for the honorabilité (background-check status) of every coach, official and adult volunteer in regular contact with minors. In badminton, this covers the head coach, assistants, Plumes / mini-bad animators, umpires and any club volunteer present at youth (poussin / benjamin / minime / cadet / junior) sessions or interclubs matches. Paak makes that tenable for a volunteer-run club.

  • Status per coach: valid / expiring soon / expired
  • Automatic reminders 30, 14 and 7 days before each attestation expires: a notification to the club's admins, and from Paak One an email to the admins and to the coach
  • CSV export in the ministry SI Honorabilité / FIJAISV column order, one click
  • FFBaD licence, CPPH ranking, coach qualifications (DE JEPS, BF1, BF2), umpiring grades (AA1, AA2, JA1, JA2) and medical certificate on the same profile

Frequently asked questions

Does Paak support the CPPH ranking?

Yes. The 13 official FFBaD tiers (NC, P12-P10, D9-D7, R6-R4, N3-N1) are integrated as five parallel drop-down lists on every licensee's profile, one per BWF tableau (MS, WS, MD, WD, XD), plus five matching number fields for CPPH points. Leave empty the tableaux the player does not enter. You update them on the profile: the CSV import brings in your licensees, not their rankings.

Is the Plumes youth progression tracked?

Yes, the 5 feathers of the FFBaD PassBad (White, Yellow, Green, Blue, Red) are a profile field for juniors. The club's youth coach validates white to blue; only a coach holding a BE, DE or DES may enter a red feather. The FFBaD age category, from Baby Bad to Veteran, is another profile field.

Does Paak handle interclub ties?

Yes. Create the tie in your league's format: FFBaD ICN Top 12 (6 matches: MS, WS, MD, WD and 2 XD) or Nationale 1 to 3 (8 matches: 2 MS, 2 WS, MD, WD and 2 XD), or your own format. Each match carries its federation name; you line up your players, and Paak flags a player lined up for more than two matches (art. 12) or twice in the same discipline, without ever blocking. Each match score is entered game by game, on every plan, and Paak checks it against the ICN format (best of 3 games to 15, at most 21). With Paak Pro a singles match can also be scored live, in games to 15 as in the ICN. Paak works out the tie score, and each match counts in its players' records, both doubles partners included. In the final phase, where the referee may end a tie already won (art. 17), you switch on the stop at the decided score.

Can Paak replace our club management software?

Yes. The FFBaD mandates no club-management software: Poona handles federal licences, but daily operations (members, fees, training, interclubs, communications) are the club's choice. Paak covers the whole club: multi-sport, Mollie payments, honourability compliance, live scoring, European hosting. Your licensees import from a CSV file (a Poona export, for example); the CPPH rankings are then picked on each profile.

Is Paak suitable for FFBaD-affiliated clubs?

Yes. Paak manages the FFBaD licence, CPPH rankings on all 5 disciplines, honourability compliance for coaches (8 March 2024 law), membership fees, interclub team entries, and the schedule of training sessions and sanctioned tournaments.

What about para-badminton or air badminton?

A para-badminton player has the same profile: CPPH rankings and points per tableau. Paak has no field for the sport class (WH1, WH2, SL3, SL4, SU5, SH6) today. AirBadminton (outdoor, AirShuttle) runs like your other groups and training slots; it has no scoreboard of its own in Paak.

Are there ready-made training sessions?

Yes. Pick an age band and a theme (footwork, serve & rear court, net play, doubles, conditioning) and Paak builds a complete session (warm-up, two mains, a match-play game) from 28 drills sourced from published federation documents (BWF Shuttle Time, FFBaD, Swiss Badminton / J+S): exactly the same ones as in the Côté Coach guide. For the youngest, everything runs through the adapted formats (MiniBad, slow shuttle, lowered net), no jump smash before the right age. Planning, editing and saving the session is free; printing the sheet and club-authored drills beyond 5 are in Paak One.

The guide is free and public: discover badminton from the coach's side with the sourced training know-how, in French, English and German.
