The schedule
Numbers are players. “1 & 5 vs 3 & 8” means players 1 and 5 play against players 3 and 8. Court numbers are just labels — in Americano they carry no ranking.

How to run it with this schedule
- Give everyone a number from 1 to 12. The printout has a line for each name.
- Each round, play the matches in that row, one per court, to a fixed number of points. 24 is a good default; the two pairs' points always add up to it.
- After each match, both players in a pair add their pair's points to their own total. Your partner changes every round, so your total is your own.
- After round 11, the highest total wins. Level on points? Whoever won more matches goes first.
- Short on court time? You can stop after any round — with nobody resting, everyone has always played the same number of matches.
Why this rotation is fair
This is not a hand-made table. It was generated by the engine that runs Americano in the Padel Rondas app, which builds each round from history and never from results: first, nobody partners the same person two rounds running; then, everyone partners people they have not played with yet; last, opponents are varied as much as possible.
Over the 11 rounds, every one of the 66 possible pairs partners exactly once — you play alongside each of the other 11 players one time. Opponents are spread too: any two players meet across the net between 1 and 3 times.
In the app the rotation is built live, round by round, so it will not match this printout exactly — but it follows the same rules, and it adds the points up for you.
