The person behind PadelBracket

I'm Danny, a padel fan from Rotterdam. I was done with the hassle: sorting players on a notepad, tracking scores in the group chat, and always someone losing track of the standings. Tools that solved this were expensive or packed with accounts and ads. So I built it myself, free, no account. One link, done.

Frequently asked questions

Is PadelBracket free?

Yes, PadelBracket is completely free. No subscription, no account, no paywall. All features are available immediately.

Which tournament formats are supported?

PadelBracket supports eight formats: Americano (rotating partners, points per player), Mexicano (partners based on standings), King of the Court (courts ranked low to high, winners promote), Mixicano (mixed male/female pairs), Team Americano (fixed pairs, points per pair), knockout bracket (groups plus final), Round Robin (everyone plays everyone) and Pickleball (the same formats, adapted scoring).

What is the difference between Americano and Mexicano?

In Americano, partners are determined in advance via a fixed rotation. Everyone plays exactly once together. In Mexicano, partners are reassigned after each round based on current standings: rank 1 and 2 play together against rank 3 and 4. Mexicano gets more competitive as the tournament progresses.

What does presentation mode do?

Presentation mode opens a fullscreen scoreboard, ideal for a TV or projector in the clubhouse. You see the live standings and all active matches with live scores. The screen refreshes automatically every 3 seconds.

Use the Share button in the app to generate a unique link. Participants open it on their phone and see the live standings, no account, no installation. Scores update as you enter them.

Can players submit their own scores?

Yes. Enable Players enter scores mode via the Share button. Players open the shared link, tap their name to identify themselves, and enter the score using +/− controls. The organiser sees the submitted score as a pending badge and approves it with one tap. Only then is it saved.

Can I export the results?
