Mid-life padel, properly tracked. Dabtonic runs your weekly Americano padel league: fair fixtures, live scores and a league table that builds itself. Built for groups who actually want to know who's winning. MEMBERS ONLY You need the club password from your organiser to get past the first screen, and the league code to join your group. WHY DABTONIC Americano padel is brilliant because everyone plays with everyone. It's awful to track, because everyone plays with everyone. Dabtonic does the boring bit so you don't end up arguing in the WhatsApp group at 11pm. WHAT IT DOES • Fair fixtures on the day. Tap who turned up and Dabtonic draws the night. At 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 17, 20, 21 and 24 players everyone partners everyone exactly once; other numbers get as close as the maths allows. Balanced by form then picks who plays whom, so games stay close. • Americano, Mexicano, or build the night game by game. Friendlies don't count towards the table. • Line-up changes, sorted. Swap a player, or redraw the rest of the night without touching the scores already in. • Share or print. A bold fixture image for the group chat, an A4 sheet for every court with boxes for the scores, or every game on one page. • Live scores. Tap a court, enter the score. Only admins score; everyone else follows live on their own phone. • One league, every phone. Members join with the league code. One phone scores at a time, and control can be handed to another phone mid-night. • A league table that runs itself, ranked on Points Won %: your share of the points on offer, so playing better beats turning up more. New players are Provisional until their third night. • Seasons. A 10-night league that crowns a champion, a Season recap to share, and the next season starts with the same roster. • Player pages. Form, best partners, toughest rivals, streaks, personal records and achievements. • Guests. Bring a mate: they count on the night, never in the league. • Widgets. The league table on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and tonight's rounds on the Live Session widget. • Optional round timer, upcoming nights to your calendar, CSV export and a full backup. • For the organiser: an admin-only kitty tracker for who's paid and who bought the balls. • iPhone and iPad. Light or dark. No ads. No sign-up. PERFECT FOR • Weekly Americano groups of 4 to 24 players • Organisers tired of running fixtures from a notes app WHAT IT'S NOT This isn't a court booking app or a generic stats tracker. It's a league manager for Americano nights you run yourself, every week, with the same group. ABOUT THE FORMAT Americano padel rotates partners every round, and each game is played to a points target, often 16 or 24. Points build into a leaderboard for the night, and across the season the league table emerges. Dabtonic gets out of the way and lets the points do the talking.
