Can I leave the court during a padel match?
Only with the umpire's permission, and that includes the warm-up. Rule 2 also lets an organiser announce a set number of toilet breaks before the match.
Does the rule apply during the warm-up?
Yes. The warm-up is part of the match for this rule, so you need the umpire's permission to leave then too.
