Rules
How Groups + Knockout works This tournament
  • Fixed pairs (partners stay together the whole event) β€” pick from three variants when creating the tournament: 8 pairs (16 players), 10 pairs (20 players), or 12 pairs (24 players).
  • Group stage: 8p β†’ 2 groups of 4 (3 rounds); 10p β†’ 2 groups of 5 (5 rounds, 1 pair rests each round); 12p β†’ 3 groups of 4 (5 rounds, two groups play per round, one rests).
  • Group standings: Win = 3, Draw = 1, Loss = 0. Tiebreakers: head-to-head, then game difference, then more games won.
  • Knockout: 8p / 10p qualify top 2 of each group to the semis + ranks 3-4 to the 5-8 placement bracket; 12p qualifies into 3 brackets (Championship 1-4, Middle 5-8, Lower 9-12).
  • Finals: full ranking 1-8 (8p), 1-10 (10p β€” extra 9th-place match), 1-12 (12p β€” 5/7/9/11 finals across all 3 brackets).
  • Match limit: 20-min rounds, 30-min finals. Roster: 16 players (8 pairs).

Format variants β€” pick when creating the tournament

  • 8 pairs (16 players): 2 groups of 4 β€” fastest format. 3 group rounds + knockout (round 4) + finals (round 5). Total 5 rounds.
  • 10 pairs (20 players): 2 groups of 5 β€” every pair plays 4 group matches, one pair rests in each group per round. 5 group rounds + knockout (round 6) + finals (round 7) + 9th-place match (round 8). Total 8 rounds.
  • 12 pairs (24 players): 3 groups of 4 β€” only two groups play per round, one rests (court 4 is idle in one round). 5 group rounds + a 3-bracket finals tree across rounds 6-8. Total 8 rounds.
  • Roster is fixed pairs β€” partners stay together the whole event.

How a match is played

  • Standard padel game scoring inside every match: 15, 30, 40, game.
  • At 40–40 play a golden point β€” no advantage, sudden death.
  • The match ends either when time runs out (Time mode) or when a pair reaches the target game count (Games mode).

Match length β€” Time mode (default)

  • Group + knockout rounds: 20 minutes per match by default (adjustable per tournament).
  • Final + 3rd-place match: 30 minutes by default β€” typically split into two 15-minute halves; games are added together for the result.
  • When the buzzer goes the current game is dropped. Only completed games count.
  • Examples: 5:3 at 40:30 (unfinished) β†’ official 5:3. 4:4 at deuce β†’ 4:4 draw. 3:2 at deuce β†’ 3:2.
  • Scores are open-ended β€” there's no per-match cap.

Match length β€” Games mode

  • Each match is played first-to-N games (target set on the tournament). No time limit.
  • The first pair to reach N games wins. Whoever's leading when the agreed game count is reached takes the match.

Group standings (all variants)

  • Win = 3 points Β· Draw = 1 point Β· Loss = 0 points.
  • Round-by-round breakdown:
  • β€’ 8 pairs: rounds 1-3 (each pair plays 3 group matches).
  • β€’ 10 pairs: rounds 1-5 (each pair plays 4 group matches; one pair in each group rests every round).
  • β€’ 12 pairs: rounds 1-5 (each pair plays 3 group matches; one group rests per round).

Group tie-breakers (all variants)

  • If two or more pairs are level on group points, rank them in this order:
  • 1. Head-to-head β€” who beat whom (only resolves clean 2-way ties).
  • 2. Game difference β€” games won minus games lost across the group stage.
  • 3. More games won overall in the group stage.
  • 4. If still tied: play a golden point or a mini tie-break (organizer's call).

8 pairs β€” knockout (round 4) + finals (round 5)

  • Round 4 β€” 4 parallel semi-finals on all 4 courts:
  • β€’ Court 1: Semifinal 1 β€” A1 vs B2.

  • β€’ Court 3: 5-8 Semifinal 1 β€” A3 vs B4.
  • β€’ Court 4: 5-8 Semifinal 2 β€” B3 vs A4.

  • Round 6 β€” same layout as 8p's semis:
  • β€’ Courts 1-2: Semifinal 1 (A1 vs B2) + Semifinal 2 (B1 vs A2).
  • β€’ Courts 3-4: 5-8 Semifinal 1 (A3 vs B4) + 5-8 Semifinal 2 (B3 vs A4).
  • Round 7 β€” 4 placement finals (same as 8p round 5):
  • β€’ Court 1: Final. Court 2: 3rd-place. Court 3: 5th-place. Court 4: 7th-place.
  • Round 8 β€” 9th-place match: A5 vs B5 (single match on court 1).
  • Final ranking 1-10.

12 pairs β€” 3-bracket finals (rounds 6-8)

  • After the group stage the 12 pairs split into 3 brackets based on group ranks:
  • β€’ Championship (1-4): 3 group winners + the best 2nd-placer from a different group than the top-seeded winner (cross-group seeding so SF1 isn't a same-group rematch).
  • β€’ Middle (5-8): the remaining two 2nd-placers + the best two 3rd-placers.
  • β€’ Lower (9-12): the remaining 3rd-placer + all three 4th-placers.
  • Round 6 β€” Championship + Middle SFs:
  • β€’ Court 1: Champ SF1 (#1 vs #4). Court 2: Champ SF2 (#2 vs #3).
  • β€’ Court 3: Middle SF1 (#1 vs #4). Court 4: Middle SF2 (#2 vs #3).
  • Round 7 β€” Lower SFs + Championship Final:
  • β€’ Court 1: Lower SF1. Court 2: Lower SF2.
  • β€’ Court 3: Championship Final (winner = 1st / loser = 2nd). Court 4: 3rd-place match.
  • Round 8 β€” Middle + Lower finals:
  • β€’ Court 1: 5th-place. Court 2: 7th-place. Court 3: 9th-place. Court 4: 11th-place.
  • Final ranking 1-12.

If a placement match is tied

  • Recommended: play a tie-break to 5 points, win by 2.
  • If time is tight: play first-to-5 without the 2-point rule.
  • Whoever wins the tie-break takes the match (and the position it's played for).

Court usage per round

  • All variants are designed to keep all 4 courts busy as much as possible.
  • 8 pairs: every round uses all 4 courts (group stage 3 rounds Γ— 4 + KO 1 round Γ— 4 + finals 1 round Γ— 4 = 20 court-slots, 20 matches total).
  • 10 pairs: every group round + knockout + finals uses 4 courts; round 8 (9th-place match) uses only court 1.
  • 12 pairs: court usage pattern is (4, 4, 4, 3, 3) across the 5 group rounds β€” 18 group-stage matches total, 2 idle court-slots spread across the back two rounds. Knockout + finals rounds all use 4 courts.
