Padeliga Events
Padel Americano and Mexicano software for organisers
In short
Padeliga Events is free padel Americano and Mexicano software for UK clubs, and runs padel events for the organiser: Americano, Mexicano, King of the court, Beat the Box, round robin, knockouts with seeding and team events, all from the club console on a laptop or phone. Players need no app: they can sign up by scanning a QR code and typing their name, the draw can happen by itself at the start time, and each player sees their next games and scores on their phone. The organiser runs the clock and the scores, with the courts and the table on a TV.
Formats
- Americano and Mexicano. Mexicano pairs players by their ranking after each round. An Americano can keep fixed partners too.
- King of the court and Beat the Box.
- Round robin, and a knockout with seeding and byes to the top seeds.
- Team events, with players split into teams.
- Mixed pairs as a switch, so every pair is a man and a woman.
- Not sure? Build one for me suggests a format from your numbers.
Scoring
Points (the two scores add up to a set total), games, or real padel sets: one set, best of three, a super tie-break decider, Fast4 or a pro set, with golden point if you want it.
Planning the event
Enter the start time, how long you have, the courts and the people, and the planner works out the rounds and the minutes a round, spreading games and sit outs evenly. It keeps rounds to 15 to 20 minutes where it can, and when nobody sits out it leaves a short break between rounds. An event can repeat every week, every two weeks or every month, with last time’s names ready to tick.
On the day
- Check in who is here, with reserves to swap in with one tap, and late arrivals joining from the next round.
- A live clock with a horn at one minute left and at time. Running late pushes the night back; Add a break fits a 5 or 10 minute break in and shortens the rounds after it, so you still finish on time.
- Scores typed in court by court on one full screen, and the table updates as you go.
- A court screen for the TV: now, next, sitting out, the table, and a QR code players scan to see their own games.
Afterwards
- A results picture to save and share in the WhatsApp group.
- A print pack: the rounds with times, find your court, score cards and the bracket.
- Run again on a new date with the same settings.
What players do
- Sign up by QR code, if the organiser switches it on for an Americano, Mexicano or King of the court: scan, type your name, done. When the places are full, the next names go on as reserves. Or sign up on Playtomic or WhatsApp as now, and the organiser adds the names.
- See their games on their phone: scan the QR code, type their name (“tom” finds Thomas) and see their next games with the round, time and court, their scores so far and their place.
No app, no account, no PIN.
What it does not do
- Players do not pay or enter scores for an event: the organiser runs the scores.
- It does not book courts or take payments.
How the formats work, with or without an app: Americano and Mexicano explained and King of the court. Without a club console, the free Americano generator runs a night in the browser.
