Free Mexicano padel generator (online, no install)

A Mexicano is an Americano with a ladder bolted on. Instead of a fixed rotation, the pairings for the next round come out of the current standings: the leaders meet on court one, the next four players fill court two, and so on down the ladder. Recomputing that between every round is exactly the sort of arithmetic nobody wants to do courtside.

• Auto-balanced pairings each round. The generator seeds the opening round so the field starts level, then re-ranks everybody the moment a score is locked and pairs them by position.
• Court assignment from the leaderboard. Winning moves you up the courts and losing moves you down, without anyone reading out a bracket.
• Fair sit-out rotation. When the player count does not fill every court, the rests are spread evenly instead of always landing on the same people.
• A live leaderboard on one link. Everyone can see where they stand, and therefore which court they are heading to next, from their own phone.

It runs in the browser, so a laptop at the club desk or a phone in your pocket is the whole setup.

Groups with a reasonably even skill level who like the pressure of a ladder: club nights, coaching squads, and anyone who wants the last round to actually decide something. Six to eight rounds is the sweet spot, which is enough movement for form to show without the legs giving out.

If your group has a wide skill spread, an Americano usually feels fairer, because the fixed rotation stops the same two players from owning court one all evening. In that case use the Americano generator instead.
