Organize private tournaments for padel, beach volleyball and football. Choose your sport on the home screen; Americano+ remembers it for next time. Beach volleyball supports games to 15 or 21 points, winning by two. Football supports 2–8 named teams in a round robin, draws, and a table with 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw. Enter team names separated by commas, add players if needed, and name your courts or pitches. 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.
