2026

• Star Point scoring introduced (approved by the FIP General Assembly on 28 Nov 2025, in play from January 2026 — first at FIP Bronze Melbourne, Premier Padel debut at Riyadh P1): at 40–40 up to two classic advantages are played; if the game is still unresolved, a single deciding Star Point settles it. Replaces the previous golden point across Premier Padel, CUPRA FIP Tour, FIP Promises and FIP Beyond. Source: padelfip.com "Between innovation and tradition: introducing the Star Point" (Dec 2025).
• Core system unchanged from 2025 (official wording: "As in 2025, the 22 best results … will form the FIP Ranking 2026"): best 22 results, rolling 52-week window, Premier Padel + CUPRA FIP Tour events count.
• Major line-up changed: the calendar lists Kuwait Major (October) while 2025 had the Qatar Major. FIP's defence table handles Qatar Major 2025 points with an extended defence window (May 25 – Nov 30, 2026).
• Official 2026 point scorecard published (identical tables for men and women; P1 men's table lists an R64 round worth 22 points, the women's does not).
• Major/Finals points continue to be defended in the week of the event's next edition, not on a fixed 52-week anniversary.
• Bonus events are added on top of the best 22, not into it. FIP's points breakdown flags 23 results as counted for a player carrying a bonus result (observed: BONUS FIP JUNIOR WORLD CUP BY PAIRS 2025, 15 pts, worth less than that player's weakest counted result — so a cap-competing bonus would have scored zero), and only the on-top reading reproduces FIP's published total. Encoded as `bonusEventNamePrefix` in the 2026 ruleset. Evidence base is thin: one player and one event across the scraped top-100 band on the 2026-08-18 snapshot, so re-check when another bonus event appears.

2025

• Baseline for this site: best-22 / 52-week system across Qatar Airways Premier Padel (Major 2000 · Finals 1500 · P1 1000 · P2 600) and the CUPRA FIP Tour (Platinum 300 · FIP Finals 225 · Gold 150 · Silver 80 · Bronze 40).
