Changelog

Changes to PadelFormat's tournament generators and organiser tools.

October 2026

Added

Round Robin generator for fixed pairs. Every team plays every other team once, scheduled to fit your courts, with rests shown for each round.
Set and game scoring for Round Robin: one set, best of three with a deciding match tie-break, or best of three full sets. Unfinished or impossible scores are rejected.
Round Robin standings by match wins, then set difference, game difference and games won, with shared places when teams stay level.
King / Queen of the Court generator for 2 to 8 courts with exactly four players per court. Timed rounds, winners move up a court and losers move down, with fixed pairs or rotating partners. Placings come from the last round played; earlier rounds can be corrected, and the event can end early without counting unplayed rounds.
Knockout bracket generator for 2 to 32 fixed pairs. Random or seeded draw, byes for any number of teams, set scores, walkovers and an optional third-place match. Corrections show which later matches change before anything is reset, and the live bracket works by link, QR code and big screen.
Group stage + knockout generator for 4 to 32 fixed pairs in 2, 4 or 8 groups. The group winners or the top two go through to a bracket built from fixed group places, exact ties for a qualifying place are decided by the organiser, and one live scoreboard follows both stages.
Tournament planner. Enter players, courts and booking time to compare Americano, Mexicano, Round Robin, King / Queen of the Court and both knockout formats, with honest time estimates, play per player and unused courts. Use this format opens the generator with counts and settings filled in, and never replaces an event or typed names without asking.
Match scorekeeper for one match. Advantage, Golden Point or Star Point; one set, best of three, or best of three with a match tie-break. It shows who serves and from which side, when to change ends, and undo works back through every point. The match is saved in this browser, and the last five replaced matches can be restored.
Live scoreboard for the match scorekeeper. Optional view-only link, QR code and big-screen view showing the names, sets, points, server and final result as you score. Starting or restoring another match closes the old link first.
League and ladder organiser for seasons over several weeks with 2 to 32 fixed pairs. A league plays every pair once or twice by matchweek with optional dates and a table; a ladder ranks pairs who challenge up to a set number of places above. Results can be corrected, several seasons are kept in this browser, and backups, CSV, print and a view-only live table are included.
Round Robin results can be corrected, a pair can withdraw without inventing results, and the tournament is restored after a refresh. Live scoreboard, QR code, big-screen view, CSV export and print work as in the other generators.

Round Robin keeps your previous five events on the device when you start a rematch or a new setup, with a Restore button.
