DPadel runs your padel session from the draw to the trophy. Pick a format, add your players, and the app builds the matches, records every score, and keeps the leaderboard correct — no spreadsheet, no whiteboard, no arguing about the maths. Built for padel clubs, coaches, community organisers, and anyone who runs a regular session. Everything works on your phone — no account, no sign-up, and no internet connection. 15 TOURNAMENT FORMATS Americano, Team Americano, Mix Americano, Mexicano, Team Mexicano, Mixicano, King of the Hill, Team King of the Hill, Group Battle, Skill Group Battle, Knockout, Group Stage, Club Americano, Club Team Americano and Club Mexicano. From a casual club night to a knockout bracket for a corporate event, the format you need is already in the app. ROTATION THAT STAYS FAIR Everyone plays with and against everyone. Court time is spread evenly, and the sit-outs are shared deliberately rather than by luck. When the player count is odd, compensation points (+M) keep the final table fair — the thing that usually starts the argument sorts itself out. MATCHMAKING FROM THE LIVE TABLE Mexicano formats re-pair every round based on the running standings. Leaders face leaders, so games stay close and no single pair runs away with it. EVERYONE GETS TO WATCH Cast the live leaderboard to the big screen at your club with TV mode, or send a text summary and result cards to the group chat. The value moves from the organiser out to every player on court. YOUR DATA, ON YOUR PHONE Nothing is uploaded and nothing is tracked. Export everything to a backup file whenever you want and import it on another device — that export is in the free version too, so your data is never locked in. WHAT IS FREE Americano and Mexicano are free forever, on one court. Tournaments, players and rounds are never capped on either tier. The leaderboard with medals, compensation points, player profiles and career statistics, the playing time check, TV mode, result sharing and file backup are all included at no cost. WHAT IS IN PRO One purchase, not a subscription. DPadel Pro unlocks the other 13 formats, up to 12 courts, court mode, a session clock, leagues across events, court cost splitting with a record of who has paid, and printing a tournament as a PDF. Buy it once and it stays yours — including on a new phone, through Restore Purchase. WHO IT IS FOR Padel clubs with weekly sessions. Coaches organising practice matches. Communities and social groups still working off paper and a chat thread. Organisers of inter-club and corporate events. Pick a format, and get playing.
