Padel Americano generator

Every rotation from 4 to 24 players, already generated. Pick your roster size and you get the full round-by-round schedule, who sits out when, and how much of it a 90-minute booking actually reaches.

These are not sample schedules. Each one comes out of the same pairing code that runs a live session in the app, so the rotation on the page is the rotation you would play — and every claim under it (partners each, repeats, rests) is counted off that schedule rather than asserted.

1 court

4 seats a round, so 4 to 7 players fill it.

2 courts

8 seats a round, so 8 to 11 players fill them.

3 courts

12 seats a round, so 12 to 15 players fill them.

4 courts

16 seats a round, so 16 to 19 players fill them.

5 courts

20 seats a round, so 20 to 23 players fill them.

6 courts

24 seats a round, so 24 players fill them.

How long an Americano takes

Past the smallest rosters, a full rotation runs longer than the booking. At 21 points a round takes about 8 minutes, and roughly the first ten minutes of any slot go on arriving and warming up — so this is what is left to play with.

BookingRounds at 21 points
60 min6 rounds
90 min10 rounds
120 min13 rounds
Each roster's page shows what share of its own rotation that covers.

Stopping short of the full rotation is normal and costs nothing: the schedules spread partners from the first round onward, so any prefix of one is a complete Americano with a real winner. The court-time maths covers the other point targets.

Which roster sizes work out evenly

A rotation with no repeated partner is possible exactly when the roster is a multiple of four, or one more than one. At a multiple of four everybody plays every round; one over, exactly one person sits and the turn comes round cleanly.

  • Two or three spare players cannot be rotated without some pair drawing each other twice. That is arithmetic, not a shortcoming of the generator — and each page says how many repeats its schedule settles for, which is the fewest this engine found.
  • Book the most courts your roster can fill. Fewer courts never buys more rounds, only more sitting.
  • Playing with an awkward number covers what to do when someone drops out an hour before.
