Being on time for your match
Matches run one after another, to the published schedule, and it is up to you to know when you play. Only the tournament umpire can change the order of play.
Bestimmung 1: Matches follow on without delay
Matches follow one another without delay, at the times shown on the match schedule. A late start on one court pushes back every match after it.
Bestimmung 2: Finding your time is your job
Match times are published in good time, and each player is expected to check them. Not having been told is no excuse: the rules expect you to look.
Bestimmung 3: Only the umpire changes the order
The order of matches cannot be changed unless the tournament umpire allows it.

How late can you be for a padel match?
Under Rule 2 of the FIP rules, a pair not on court and ready 10 minutes after the official start time loses by walkover, unless the tournament umpire accepts it was beyond their control.
Can we swap our match time with another pair?
Not on your own. The order of play can only change with the tournament umpire's permission.
