Padelko: Padel Americano Score

Padelko runs a padel Americano night from one phone. Add the group, choose the courts, and it draws every round, takes the scores and shows the table between rounds. When the session ends, every game goes into a ladder the group keeps week after week.

ANY NUMBER OF PLAYERS Four players fill a court and Padelko runs up to six courts at once. Five, seven, nine or thirteen people is a normal night, so the app plans for it. Whoever has played the most sits out next, game counts stay within one of each other, and the suggested number of rounds gives everyone the same number of games.

THREE FORMATS Americano: fresh partners every round. Padelko swaps players between courts until repeat partners and repeat opponents are as rare as the group allows. Mexicano: round one is a random draw, then every court is rebuilt from the table, 1st and 4th against 2nd and 3rd. Free pairs: the pairs from round one stay together and the opponents rotate.

SCORE A GAME IN ONE MOVE Every game runs to a fixed total of 16, 21, 24 or 32 points. Drag the bar to set one side and the other side follows, so the two scores always add up. Save, and that court is done.

ROUND CLOCK Booked the courts by the hour? Give each round 10, 12, 15 or 20 minutes. When time is up, the phone tells the courts, even from the bottom of a bag.

STANDINGS BETWEEN ROUNDS The table is one tap away during the session. When some players have had one game more than others, Padelko ranks on points per game so the bench rotation does not decide the night.

RESULTS AND THE LADDER The results screen shows the winner, the full table, each player's rating change and honours such as top scorer and unbeaten. Save it to the ladder and every game moves each player's rating, weighted by the score margin, so 21 to 3 counts for more than 21 to 19. Players climb from Rookie through Regular, Contender and Shark to Legend.

A PAGE FOR EVERY PLAYER Rating, win rate, form over the last eight games, record, peak rating, best winning run, best partners, the opponent who beats them most often, and recent games. Head to head shows how two players do as partners and against each other.

EVERY PAST SESSION Session history keeps every saved night: the format, the rounds, who played, and each player's wins and points per game.
