About this tournament setup

Mixed Americano with 12 players (6 per gender) on 2 courts runs 9 rounds of gender-balanced pairings. The rotation ensures each player sees maximum cross-gender partner variety — about 55% of possible mixed pairings occur. 4 players rest each round on a rotating basis, keeping court time equal. The leaderboard unifies scores regardless of gender, rewarding individual consistency.
2 courts for 12 players strikes a workable balance: 4 players rotate off each round while 8 compete on court. Two courts deliver the quintessential padel social format. Matches run in parallel, keeping downtime minimal while maintaining an intimate atmosphere where players can follow both games. The 9-round tournament produces 18 matches in roughly 2.3 hours.
When organizing a 12-player Mixed event, confirm equal gender numbers before generating. If you have 7 of one gender and 5 of the other, the generator handles the imbalance through bye rounds — but the experience is smoother with an even split. Recruit one more player from the underrepresented group if possible.
Tips for this setup
- Budget 2 hours for the full 9-round event. Hydration breaks every 3 rounds keep performance high.
- Confirm equal gender numbers (6 each) before starting. Odd splits create bye rounds.
