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

  1. Give everyone a number from 1 to 13. The printout has a line for each name.
  2. 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.
  3. Anyone in the Rests column sits that round out. Everyone rests exactly 1 round.
  4. 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.
  5. After round 13, the highest total wins. Level on points? Whoever won more matches goes first.

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 13 rounds, every one of the 78 possible pairs partners exactly once — you play alongside each of the other 12 players one time. Opponents are spread too: two players meet across the net at most 3 times, though some pairs never face each other.

Rests are shared out evenly: everyone sits out exactly 1 round.

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.

Other group sizes

Or let the app run it

Add your 13 players, pick Americano, and the app deals every round, adds up everyone's points and shows live standings on every phone — offline too.

3 courts is Padel Rondas Pro, sold in the iPhone app. Without it, the app runs the same players on 2 courts, with more people resting each round.
