Padelato

Padel Americano and Mexicano nights without spreadsheets.

What it is

Padelato runs a padel Americano or Mexicano session end to end: fair draws, live scores, and standings, all from one screen at the court.

It is a single HTML file - no app store, no accounts, works offline. Open it, add players, play.

Why I made it

Our group’s game nights ran on spreadsheets, memory, and arguments. Who sits out? Who partners whom? Why is he on court 1 again?

The fairness math - partner rotation, sit-out spreading, skill balance - is genuinely hard to do by hand, and it is exactly what computers are for. So I built the referee.

What it gets you

Tap in your players and get a fair schedule drawn upfront - no favoritism, no consecutive sit-outs, no repeated partners while it can be avoided.

Everyone sees live standings on their phone, and the night ends with a podium instead of a debate.
