Padel PartyEverything the app does
Padel Party is a web app that runs a padel session end to end: it draws the rounds, keeps the score on every court at once, ranks the players live, and carries the results into a rating, a leaderboard and a coaching report.
Each of these is live in the app today unless the entry says otherwise.
Americano and mexicano, drawn for you
The app draws every round of the session. Americano rotates partners so everyone plays with everyone; mexicano re-pairs each round by the current standings, so the leaders meet the leaders. Players can be paired as fixed teams instead, and a session can run on one court or on several at the same time, with the rounds scheduled so nobody sits out more than they have to.
Scoring that matches how the club actually plays
A session is scored in points or in games, and either as a race (first to the target) or as a total (play to a fixed number). The host sets the target once and every court follows it. The score pad is built for a wet thumb on a court-side phone, and one host phone can run several courts at once.
Live standings, and a points table you can add up by hand
Every finished match pays three points for a win, two for a draw and one for a loss. A round the draw left you off also pays one, the same as a loss, so sitting out is never the better option. When the host ends the session, one last bonus ranks everyone by point difference, from the roster size down to one. Nothing is hidden: the table shows each player's matches, win-loss-tie record, point difference and win rate.
A rating that only counts real matches
Results feed a rating that moves with who you beat, not just how often you win: beating a stronger pair moves it further than beating a weaker one, and new players go through a calibration period before their number settles. A match only counts toward the rating when every player in it holds an account, so one guest on the court leaves that match out for everyone in it rather than paying out half a result.
Leaderboard, per club and overall
Players are ranked overall and inside each community, so a club night has its own board without being flattened into one global list. Your own row is marked wherever you land on it.
Your own match statistics
Every player has a stats screen: win rate, matches played, wins and losses, current tier and division, overall and community rank, and a history of how the rating moved match by match. Each past match keeps its scoreline, its teams and what the result did to your rating.
Coaching reports with a real rubric
A coach grades up to seventeen named padel shots, grouped into play from the back, at the net, transition to the net, counter-attack and starting the point, each on a one to seven scale with a written note. The grades roll up to six skill axes - forehand, backhand, volley, overhead, glass, serve and return - drawn as a radar the player can read at a glance, and the report can carry photos from the session. The console writes the player-facing summary with AI from the coach's own notes, and the coach edits it before it is sent.
A youth academy that parents can follow
Academy classes carry their own schedule and roster, a coach opens the console on the club calendar rather than hunting for a phone number, and a family gets the child's report on their own account. A youth account is opened by an emailed activation link, never by a password passed around.
QR for everything that needs a court
A court carries a QR that joins the game running on it. A host shows a session QR and players scan to ask for a spot, which the host approves from their phone, so nobody types twelve names into a form. Scoring authority is handed over by a QR too, and it can be taken back.
Tiers and rewards for turning up
Sessions played move a player through five tiers - Starter, Regular, Insider, VIP and Legend - and a tier never drops back. Rewards land in the account as vouchers with their own validity, so the club can thank the people who keep showing up.
Highlight video, at courts with a camera
At a court fitted with a Padel Party camera, a player starts a highlight session and taps HIGHLIGHT after a point worth keeping; the venue keeps a rolling buffer, so the clip covers the seconds BEFORE the tap, not after it. Each clip renders as both a vertical and a horizontal cut, and the vertical one is never centre-cropped. Clips live for twenty four hours with the countdown on screen. The camera side is rolling out venue by venue, and the app tells you the camera's state before you commit to a session.
