🚀 How It Works
Get your tournament running in 3 simple steps:
Choose Your Format
Select from Americano, Mexicano, Team Tournament, or Mix Tournament based on your group size and preferences.
Enter Players & Settings
Add player names, set the number of courts, and configure scoring. The app generates all fixtures automatically.
Share & Play
Share the tournament link with players. Everyone can view live scores and standings. The organiser enters scores as matches finish.
💡 Pro Tip: Save your organiser link! You'll need it to edit scores. Players only need the viewer link to follow along.
Americano Format
Americano is the most popular social padel format. Players rotate partners each round, so everyone plays with everyone. Individual points are accumulated across all matches.
How It Works
- • Players rotate partners each round
- • Play matches to a fixed point total (e.g., 32 points)
- • Points split based on score (16-16, 20-12, etc.)
- • Individual leaderboard tracks total points
- • Highest scorer wins
Best For
- • Social club sessions
- • Meeting new players
- • Mixed skill levels
- • 8-16 players
- • 2-4 courts
Example: With 8 players and 2 courts, everyone plays 7 matches (one with each partner). A typical session takes 2-3 hours.
Mexicano Format
Mexicano adds a competitive twist. After the first round, matchups are determined by standings - players with similar points play each other. This creates exciting, closely-matched games throughout.
How It Works
- • Round 1: Random matchups
- • Subsequent rounds: Matched by standings
- • Top players face top players
- • Available in Individual or Team mode
- • Creates competitive balance
Best For
- • Competitive sessions
- • Players wanting close matches
- • 8-24 players
- • Fixed pairs (Team Mexicano)
- • 2-6 courts
Individual vs Team Mexicano
Individual: Partners rotate (like Americano) but matchups are by standings.
Team: Fixed pairs compete, teams matched by standings.
Team Tournament Format
Team Tournament is a traditional league format with fixed pairs. Teams are split into two groups, play round-robin within their group, then the top teams advance to knockout playoffs.
How It Works
- • Fixed pairs (teams of 2)
- • Two groups (Group A & B)
- • Round-robin within groups
- • Top teams advance to knockouts
- • Semi-finals and Final
Best For
- • Established partnerships
- • Club championships
- • Competitive events
- • 4-8 teams (8-16 players)
- • Half-day events
Mix Tournament Format
Mix Tournament is designed for larger groups (20-28 players). Players are split into groups of 4, play round-robin within their group, then the top performers advance to knockout rounds.
How It Works
- • 20-28 players in groups of 4
- • Round-robin within groups
- • Group winners advance
- • Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, Final
- • Full tournament experience
Best For
- • Large club events
