How it works
A padel night from the first name to the last point
Each round to 24 points
A court plays until the two sides have 24 between them, so every round takes about the same time. Change the total, or play to the clock instead.
The table after every round
Each player scores what their side won. The table moves as each court reports, and the night finishes with a winner, or with a final.
Americano or mexicano
Two ways to deal a padel night
Americano: a new partner each round
Nobody partners anybody twice while there is somebody they have not played with. It is the friendlier night, and the one for mixed levels.
For a social nightEveryone plays with everyone.
Mexicano: the table does the matching
From round two, each court takes four players off the table, first and third against second and fourth. The leader always has the weaker partner, so the games stay close.
For a competitive nightBy round four nobody is losing heavily.
A final if you want one
After two rounds, deal a final off the table on one court or on all of them. Its points decide the winner and leave the table as it stood.
For the organiserThe night ends on a court, not on a spreadsheet.

Players and courts
How many padel players for how many courts
Four to a court. The rest sit out a round in turn, and nobody sits a second time while someone has not sat once. Anything from 4 to 64 players works.
| Players | 2 courts | 3 courts | 4 courts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | all 8 on | all 8 on | all 8 on |
| 10 | 8 on, 2 sit | 8 on, 2 sit | 8 on, 2 sit |
| 12 | 8 on, 4 sit | all 12 on | all 12 on |
| 13 | 8 on, 5 sit | 12 on, 1 sits | 12 on, 1 sits |
| 14 | 8 on, 6 sit | 12 on, 2 sit | 12 on, 2 sit |
| 16 | 8 on, 8 sit | 12 on, 4 sit | all 16 on |
Somebody late? Add them between rounds. A mexicano puts them on a court straight away; an americano deals them in from the next round.

Questions
What padel venues ask about americano nights
We run our nights on Playtomic. How hard is it to move?
Not hard. A night takes a few minutes to set up, and you can run your next one here alongside whatever you use for bookings. We help you through the first, and a person answers when you ask.
Is there a free padel americano generator?
Yes. Type the names and the courts, and it prints the whole evening: who partners whom, who sits out, and a table that keeps itself. No sign-up. The padel americano generator.
Who puts the scores in?
Your choice for each night: the desk alone, or the players on each court from their phones. A score counts the moment it is in, and the desk can correct any of them.
Can players see their next court?
Yes. Each player’s phone shows their court, their partner and who they face, and what is next for them.
What does a night cost?
Nights are on every paid plan, as many as you like. The free plan runs one box league and no nights. The plans.
Does a night count for anything afterwards?
Every round feeds each player’s level at your club, which Find a game uses to suggest a close match later in the week. Levels are never shown on a public page.
