One tool for the whole tournament

Every padel night runs on something different. One club has an app somebody bought on the App Store, another keeps it all in a spreadsheet, a third uses software that almost does the job. PadelLoop exists because I kept watching the same night get solved five different ways, and wanted to bring it together into one tool.
I started playing in 2019, after a few years of squash. I was at the founding meeting of Haugaland Padelklubb and was later voted onto the board as vice chair, and I have helped run numerous tournaments for the club: some in Excel, some in software that got in the way more than it helped. I should be honest about the level, though. I play for exercise, not for ranking points, and in a padel country as young as Norway that makes me a perfectly decent player at best.
So I built the tool myself. The core is free, with no account and no app to download, because the point is to start playing, not to sign up. Formats and features are shaped by what actually goes wrong on a padel night, so the feedback button comes straight to me.
