Made by a padel player. Not a company.

Hi, I'm Danny.

I'm Danny de Visser, a padel player from Rotterdam, Netherlands. I built PadelBracket because every time I helped organise a tournament with friends or at the club, the existing tools were either expensive, locked behind subscriptions and accounts, or just too clunky to use standing on the side of the court with sweaty hands.

So I built my own. There are no investors, no team, and no roadmap meetings — just one person who plays padel and writes code, fixing the things that bothered him about every other tournament app out there. PadelBracket is the tool I wished existed when I was scribbling pairings on a notepad and tracking scores in a group chat.

No ads. No subscription. No catch.

PadelBracket has no advertisements, no paid plans, and your data is never sold to anyone. There's no account to create and nothing to pay for, ever.

It's free because padel is supposed to be a social game. The moment you put a paywall in front of something as basic as setting up a schedule or sharing the live score with your group, you add friction to an afternoon that should just be about playing. PadelBracket runs on a small hosting bill and the satisfaction of seeing it used at clubs and courts across Europe — that's the whole business model.

Four formats. One link. Zero setup.

PadelBracket generates and runs a complete padel tournament from start to finish, in your browser, in any of these formats:

• 🏆 KnockoutA single-elimination bracket — enter your teams, the app builds the bracket, and you advance the winners round by round until a champion is crowned.
• 🔄 AmericanoIndividual ranking with rotating partners. The app generates a fixed schedule so everyone plays with and against everyone else, and tracks points per player automatically.
• 📈 MexicanoLike Americano, but partners are re-paired after every round based on the live standings — rank 1 and 2 play together against rank 3 and 4. The competition gets tighter as the rounds go on.
• 🤝 Round RobinFixed teams play every other team once. The app builds the full schedule and keeps a running league table of wins, losses and game difference.

Beyond generating the schedule, PadelBracket also includes:

• 📡 Offline supportIt's a Progressive Web App — after the first load it keeps working without an internet connection, and your tournament data is saved on your own device.
• 📺 Live scoreboard & presentation modeCast the live standings and matches to a TV or big screen — perfect for showing the schedule and scores at the club bar during a tournament day.
• 🔗 Share link for spectatorsSend one link to the group chat. Anyone can open it on their own phone and watch the live standings update in real time — no account, nothing to install.
• 📄 PDF & CSV exportExport the final schedule and results to PDF or CSV in one tap, ready to print, archive or share with your club.
