Padel Mexicano Generator
Like Americano, but each new round is drawn from the table, so players of similar form meet as the session goes on.
How Mexicano works
- The first round is drawn at random, or in the order you list players if you want to seed by level.
- Matches are played to a fixed total of points, and each player keeps the points their pair wins.
- After every round, the table is sorted. The top four play on court 1, the next four on court 2, and so on.
- On each court, first and fourth play against second and third, which keeps matches tight.
- Play as many rounds as your booking allows. The highest total wins.
Americano or Mexicano?
Americano is best when you want everyone to play with everyone. Mexicano is better for mixed ability groups who want competitive games, because strong players gradually meet each other.
