Social leagues
Social padel league with rotating partners
In short
A social padel league with rotating partners is a league for individuals: everyone signs up on their own, gets a new partner and new opponents every matchday, and keeps their own points in one table. Padeliga runs it for clubs, drawing the partners so everyone plays the same number of games, while members agree times and confirm scores on their phones.
How it works
- Sign up on your own. Nobody needs a partner to join.
- A new partner every matchday. The draw gives each player a new partner and new opponents each time.
- Play by a date. The four players agree a time and book a court the way they already do.
- Points go to each player. Matches can be scored in sets, Fast4, or points, one score a match, the way an Americano is scored.
- One table of players. It can end on the table, or with finals for the top of the table.
Many clubs call it an Americano league: the rotating partners of an Americano night, spread over weeks. For one evening instead, see the Americano and Mexicano app for organisers.
How many players, and how many matchdays
The number of players sets a fair length. With 8 players, 7 matchdays give everyone 7 games, partnering each of the others once. With 16, it is 15 matchdays. With 10, people take turns to sit out: 10 matchdays and 8 games each. Try any number in the free round robin generator, which uses the same draw as the app.
Running one in Padeliga
- Pick Social in the club console or the app, and choose the dates and how often a matchday falls.
- Put up the QR poster or share the six character code. Members join with a name and a PIN.
- The app draws every matchday, and never saves a draw where anyone plays fewer games than anyone else.
- Members agree times and confirm scores on their phones. Staff see only what needs an answer.

Questions
Do you need a partner for a social padel league?
No. You sign up on your own and the draw gives you a new partner every matchday.
How is a social padel league scored?
The organiser chooses: sets, Fast4, or points, one score a match. Points go to each player, so your total follows you whoever you play with.
What happens with an odd number of players?
People take turns to sit out a matchday, and the league runs for the number of matchdays where everyone plays the same number of games.
Is a social league the same as an Americano?
It uses the same idea, rotating partners and points per player, but spread over weeks with one match a matchday, rather than one evening.
