Free for clubs and players
How Padeliga works.
Pick what you want to run at your club. Each one shows what the club sets up and what the players do. I’ll set up your first one with you, free.
League
Everyone plays a match every week, at their level, with a table to climb. Fixed pairs, a new partner every week, or a box league in divisions.
For the club what you set up
Pick the shape
Fixed pairs or a new partner every matchday, one table or divisions. Not sure? Six quick questions suggest one.
Split into divisions
By level or at random, with Division 1 at the top. Seeded by Playtomic level if you like.
A round, then a reshuffle
After each round pairs move up and down, so a strong pair can climb to the top.
Then it runs itself
Partners drawn, every matchday dated. You only answer what needs a person, on one screen in the club console.
For players what they do
Join with the code
From the poster by the courts or a link in the group chat. A name and a PIN, no email and no password.
Your partner, or a new one
Play the season with the same partner, or join a social league and the app draws you a new one every matchday.
Arrange your match
Suggest a day and a time, the other pair agree or offer one back. Book the court the way you already do.
The table moves itself
One pair puts the score in, the other confirms it, and the table updates straight away.
Leagues run in seasons of about 8 to 14 weeks, and the next season starts in a few taps.
Knockout
A club cup or championship played over a few weeks. Win and you go through, lose once and you are out.
For the club what you set up
What you set
The size, how many rounds, whether people enter with a partner, and when it draws. 8, 16 or 32 places, or any number.
Partners or no partners
People enter with a partner, or on their own and the app pairs them up at the draw.
The draw makes itself
The moment the last place goes, or when you press Draw. Byes are spread through the draw, and seeds get them first.
A deadline each round
Every round has its own date to play by, so one late tie never holds the whole draw up.
For players what they do
Join with the code
From the poster by the courts or a link in the group chat. A name and a PIN, no email and no password.
See the whole bracket
Who they play next and the full draw, from the first round to the final, on their phone.
Agree a time
Suggest a day and a time, the other pair agree. Book the court as normal.
Win and go through
One pair puts the score in, the other confirms it, and the winner moves into the next round.
A knockout is a great way to start: one draw, a few weeks, and a final to finish on.
Ladder
A ranked list that runs all year. Challenge a pair a few places above you, win and you take their place.
For the club what you set up
What you set
How far up a pair can challenge, the days to answer and to play, how long a pair is safe after defending, and what a decline means.
Start the order
Random, by level or seeded by you. New pairs join at the bottom whenever they like.
Fair for everyone
The same rules for every pair, one open challenge at a time, and a few safe days after defending.
It runs itself
Challenges close to their deadline land in one list for you. Otherwise there is nothing to do.
For players what they do
Join with the code
From the poster by the courts or a link in the group chat. A name and a PIN, no email and no password.
Challenge up the ladder
Pick a pair a few places above you. One open challenge at a time.
Accept or decline
The pair challenged answer within a few days, then play by a date. Book the court as normal.
Win and you move up
Win and you take their place, the pairs in between move down one. Lose and nothing moves.
A ladder is perfect when people play whenever they are free, rather than on a set night.

Questions
How long does it take to set up a padel league?
A few minutes in the club console. After the draw, the league runs itself and you only answer what needs a person.
Does Padeliga book the courts?
No. Members book the court the way they already do. Padeliga runs everything between the matches: fixtures, match times, scores and the table.
What if two pairs disagree on a score?
The other pair sends the score back instead of confirming it, and it shows in the club’s Needs an answer list for staff to settle.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Padeliga is free for clubs and players, with no trial, no contract and no card.
