Frequently asked questions
- How many courts do I need?
- You need four players per court for everyone to play at the same time. If you have more players than the courts can hold, some rotate in and out each round. The planner shows how many are sitting out.
- How long does a padel match take?
- An Americano match to 24 points typically takes 12–16 minutes including changeovers and serving. Shorter matches (16–21 points) give more rounds in the same time.
- How many rounds should we play?
- It depends on the time you have. The planner works out how many rounds fit in your slot. Mexicano and Team Mexicano build one round at a time, so you simply stop when the time is up. Americano and the fixed-teams round robin lay out the whole schedule when you start: an Americano runs one round fewer than your number of players, capped at 12, and a round robin runs until every team has met every other team. For those two, check the plan before you start rather than after.
