With 7 teams of two on 2 courts, Team Americano produces 12 matches across 6 rounds. The round-robin schedule ensures broad opponent coverage. 6 players (3 teams) rest each round, rotating in for the next. Fixed partnerships mean you can develop and refine a joint game plan across the event. Team points accumulate together, rewarding consistent duo performance.

2 courts for 14 players strikes a workable balance: 6 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 6-round tournament produces 12 matches in about 90 minutes.

With 7 teams, the quality of partnerships drives the competition. Pair players with complementary styles — a strong server with a net specialist, or an aggressive player with a consistent defender. Pre-tournament practice helps fixed teams develop the communication and court positioning that separate good teams from great ones.
