Sixteen people turn up. There are four courts. Everybody wants to play with as many different partners as possible, and somebody has to work out who is where. That is the job this does.
Every round is drawn to avoid pairings that have already happened. Sixteen players over five rounds means nobody partners the same person twice — and the rotation is tested to prove it, not just intended.
Thirteen players on three courts means somebody sits out every round. It is a different somebody each time, and no player is ever more than one round behind anybody else.
First plays with fourth against second and third, redrawn from the standings after every round. The next round will not draw until the current one is scored, because a half-finished table is the wrong table.
Individual points, updated as each court comes back. An Americano ranks on points won rather than matches won, so a player on a losing court still banks what they scored — which is what keeps the last round worth playing.
Correct a score you typed wrong and the table rebuilds from the rounds rather than quietly double-counting.
You do not need a league to run one.
Create a session, pick who is playing, draw round one. No competition to set up first, no season, no divisions. If your club only ever runs social nights, that is a complete product on its own.
A padel match is 6–4, 3–6, 7–5. Most software throws away everything except who won. This records the set scores, and the tie-break score underneath a 7–6, because both numbers matter to the people who played.
Your table shows games for and against. And a pair that wins more games but fewer sets does not get the win — which sounds obvious until you have seen software get it wrong.
Golden point or advantage
Sudden death keeps a club night to time. Advantage if your league plays it traditionally.
Tie-break, or play on
Standard tie-break to seven, or keep going until somebody leads by two and let 8–6 stand.
Championship tie-break
First to ten instead of a third set, so a match fits the court booking.
Rules are fixed to each match when it is created. Change your format halfway through a season and last month’s results stay scored the way they were played.
Register pairs, run divisions, generate the fixtures. Tables rank on sets with games for and against — or on games, if that is how your league does it. Pairs are named, so “Alvarez / Reid” is what the table says.
Club against club, several rubbers a fixture, two rubbers wins it. Squads pick a different line-up each week and the app keeps every pairing straight.
Straight knockout, double elimination, Swiss, group stage into a knockout, or a league phase first. Automated draws, seeding, byes and public brackets.
Padel courts as bookable resources, with availability windows, blackout dates and clash detection that flags two matches sent to the same court.
None of this is padel-specific, which is exactly why it is worth saying — it has been running for other sports for a while, and it all applies to yours.
Partnership records per season — every pair you have played in, and how it went.
Invite codes, join requests, and a public directory so players can find your club.
Result confirmation, disputes and an audit trail of who entered what.
Who can play, who cannot, and postponement requests that do not live in a group chat.
Automatic awards, per-season stats and player profiles.
News posts, broadcasts and push notifications to your members.
Player moves between clubs, and a disciplinary record when you need one.
Casual games that still count towards stats, outside any competition.
Tables, brackets and fixtures anybody can look at without an account.
Start a session in under a minute. No league to set up, no card needed.
