Mexicano tournament questions
What is a padel Mexicano?
A Mexicano is a social tournament where partners change every round and each player collects their own points. Unlike an Americano, the pairings are not fixed in advance: after each round, players are regrouped by the standings, so the leaders end up playing each other.
How are the teams chosen each round?
Players are ranked by total points. Ties are broken by the original random draw, not by the order names were typed. Each group of four plays together, with 1st and 4th against 2nd and 3rd. The top group plays on court 1.
How many players and rounds can I use?
4, 8, 12, 16, 20 or 24 players, and 1 to 12 rounds. With fewer courts than groups, each round splits into waves and the lower groups play later in that round.
Can I correct a score from an earlier round?
Yes. The standings update straight away, but rounds that have already been drawn keep their pairings. Only results in the latest round can be cleared.
Does 24 points mean first to 24?
No. It means 24 points combined between both teams. A 14–10 result gives each player on the first team 14 points and each player on the other team 10. Draws such as 12–12 are valid.
