How the index is calculated

The OpenSet X Tour Index measures what a group of players can verify before booking. It does not measure hotel luxury or guest satisfaction.

  • Pickleball courts: up to 40 points (12 courts or more = maximum).
  • Published lessons, clinics and tournaments: up to 25 points (a secondary source counts half).
  • Published group offer: up to 15 points.
  • Published airport distance: up to 10 points (30 minutes or less = maximum).
  • Verified on the official website: 10 points; partially: 5 points.

Independent editorial ranking: no resort paid to be listed or for its rank, and OpenSet earns no commission on these properties to date. If a commercial agreement is made, it will be shown on the listing concerned and will not affect the index.

Resort photos belong to their owners. They appear on the official website and Google Maps; OpenSet will publish its own photos when a partner resort provides them with permission.
