Americano+ is the fastest way to organize and run a padel tournament with your group — from a casual Americano with friends to a full club event across many courts. Made for players, by a player: no accounts, no subscriptions, no nonsense. Open the app at the court and start playing. RUN IT LOCAL — OR LIVE IN THE CLOUD Keep it simple on one phone, or switch on Cloud for a bigger event: • Share a join code — players join from their own phones, no account needed • Players follow the rounds live and always see their next court • Players submit their own scores by tapping the grid; you review and confirm each one as game master • Edit any score until the tournament ends • Game-master recovery — a private recovery code lets you hand control to another phone or recover after a reinstall, so a big event never depends on a single device Cloud is optional and off by default. Local tournaments stay fully offline. 8 TOURNAMENT FORMATS • Americano — random pairs, everyone plays with everyone • Mexicano — pairs by ranking after each round • Team Americano — fixed teams, rotate opponents • Team Mexicano — fixed teams, ranked pairing • Mixed Americano — gender-balanced pairs and sit-outs • Super Mexicano — individual ranking within teams • King of the Court — winners stay, losers rotate • Round Robin — fixed teams, everyone plays everyone once WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Zero setup — tap New Tournament, add players, start in under a minute • Offline first — local tournaments need no internet at the court • Instant scoring — tap a team's score in the grid and the opponent's is filled in automatically • Live standings — rankings, wins, losses and point differential update every round • Winner's podium — completed tournaments celebrate the top three with gold, silver and bronze • Tablet-native — iPad shows Courts and Live Standings side by side, built for the director's screen • Night Match — a floodlit navy & amber dark theme, on by default (choose System to follow your device) • Share results — send the final standings to WhatsApp, Messages or any app as a clean summary • Edit on the fly — add players mid-tournament, rename courts to your club's numbers, change points or byes between rounds PRIVACY Local tournaments run entirely on your device. Cloud is opt-in per tournament and uses an anonymous service hosted in the EU — no login, no personal account. FREE — NO INTERRUPTIONS WHILE YOU PLAY Every format, every feature, every device — unlocked. No premium tier, no pro version, no paywalls.
