One tool for the whole padel night

Every padel night runs on something different. One club has an app somebody bought on the App Store, another keeps the whole evening in a spreadsheet, a third uses software that almost does the job. PadelLoop exists because Kjetil kept watching the same night get solved five different ways, and none of them well.

He started playing just before Covid, in cohorts at Karmøy Padel back when that was the only legal way to play at all, and moved to Padelon Haugesund in 2023 for a drive that was ten minutes shorter. He is vice chair of the board at Haugaland Padelklubb, where he has helped run 25 to 30 tournaments: some in Excel, some in software that got in the way more than it helped.

So he built the tool himself. 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 goes straight to Kjetil.
