Run padel tournaments in minutes
Americano, Mexicano or King of the Court, now also with fixed teams and a championship final. Simple scoring, live standings and a results card ready for Instagram.
Three formats
Pick the right format for your group
All social, free and with an individual leaderboard. You play to a fixed score (16/24/32) and the app tracks everything.
Mexicano
BalancedPairs are rebuilt every round by the standings (1st with 4th, 2nd with 3rd). The most balanced matches, always a shot at the title.
Americano
ClassicA fixed schedule set upfront: you play with and against as many players as possible. Points add up to a per-match total, so the leaderboard is fair for everyone.
King of the Court
DynamicRanked courts: winners move up, losers move down, the king defends the top court. Maximum energy on the top court.
The engine behind it
An algorithm that thinks every single round
It doesn't draw at random. It recomputes pairings, rest and courts after every score, with a deterministic engine battery-tested across every format.
How it builds a Mexicano round
On each court: the best + the weakest vs the two in the middle.
The 4 on court split into 2 evenly-matched teams, so the game is close, not a blowout.
What it balances, at every step
Rest rotates evenly
When there are more players than court spots, only some sit out. Whoever has benched the least sits out this round, so everyone rests in turn.
Varied partners & opponents
In Americano a round-robin system makes you play with and against as many different people as possible.
Balanced matches
In Mexicano pairs reshuffle by the standings every round (top with bottom), so scores stay close.
Movement across courts
In King of the Court winners climb, losers drop, and the king defends Court 1.
Seeding by ranking
Optionally it can use your competitive rating (Glicko) for fair seeds. It only reads it, never affects it.
Ends on time
A round cap and auto-finish keep the tournament from dragging on forever.
Deterministic & verified
The same setup always produces the same fair schedule, and the rest rotation is checked by an exhaustive battery on every format.
New
New: from fixed teams to TV mode
Tournaments grew up: teams with a knockout finale, player-entered scores, seeding, a TV scoreboard and full management from the browser. All optional - you pick what you use.
Fixed teams
Come with your partner and play together the whole tournament. Every team faces all the others in turn, and the standings crown the best pair.

- The top teams from the standings qualify
- Decisive matches, no ties
- You pick the bracket size and the final score
Scores come from the court
Turn it on and every court sends its own score - you stop running between courts.
- Players send the score straight from the app
- Opponents confirm or reject - every score validated by both sides
- The organizer can always enter or fix a score
Smart notifications and seeding
Every player instantly knows where they play, with whom and against whom. And the draw can follow the ranking.

- Optional seeding by the competitive ranking - it only reads it, never changes it

On every screen
One tournament, on phone, web and TV
Run it from your phone or the browser, and the club puts it on any TV. Everything updates live, on every score.
How it works
From setup to champion
The organizer runs everything from one phone. Everyone else just plays and watches the standings.
Add the players
Friends from your contacts or guests by name only. Choose the format, the score and the courts.
Play the rounds
The app generates the matches and pairings. You enter each court's score and the next round appears automatically.
Live standings
The individual leaderboard updates on every score. All participants see it in real time.
Share the results
At the end, a podium and a results card ready for Instagram or WhatsApp, plus a public link.
Social and free
Tournaments are for fun, not the official ranking
Tournaments don't affect your competitive rating in the app, so play relaxed. Want matches that count toward the ranking? Those are separate.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What tournament types can I run?
Mexicano, Americano and King of the Court, plus a Teams mode (fixed pairs) and a Championship phase (knockout) for the grand final.
How are matches and standings generated?
Automatically. Rounds, pairings and the tournament standings are computed for you as you enter the scores.
Can I invite players without an account?
Yes. You can add guests or invite players who have accounts, and anyone who does not get a spot joins the reserves list and is promoted automatically when a spot opens up.
What about players who arrive late?
In the open-ended formats (Mexicano, King of the Court) you mark them as late and add them on the fly: the upcoming rounds regenerate automatically to include them, without disturbing what has already been played.
Is there a shot clock or time limit?
Yes, optionally: you start a round timer that appears synced across every screen (your phone, the players' phones and TV mode), with a preset or custom interval and an alarm when it ends. You can also add a duration estimate, and some formats can auto-finish after a set number of rounds.
Do tournaments affect the competitive ranking?
No. Tournaments are social and fully separate from the competitive ranking, so you can have fun without pressure on your rating.
