Download now and let us help you organize your next pickleball tournament. Our app comes with many different tournament types e.g. Round Robin, Team Americano, Mexicano, Mix Americano etc. We take care of everything, so you never have to worry about "Who is going to play with whom?", "Who tracks the points?", "Who's winning?" - We will take care of everything! HOW TO PLAY PICKLEBALL AMERICANO Each player will play with the same partner only once in the entire tournament. The score is obtained individually, even when playing as a team. NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS You can use our app no matter how many players you are playing. In contrast to other apps on the market, we have speciallized in creating a tournament generator that can handle low, high or uneven number of players. THE SCORING SYSTEM Based on a predetermined number of points per game (e.g. 21 points) the team that takes the most number of points will be the winner of the match. This also means that being the winner or loser of the match is irrelevant. The reason for this is that each point counts in your individual results. As a player you should always aim to get as many points as possible, it will not be the same to win 20 to 1 than 11 to 10. HOW TO WIN IN AMERICANO To become the winner of the Pickleball Americano you have to not only rely on your technical and tactical skills, but also a high level of adaption and coordination with your different teammates throughout the tournament.
