Free padel Mexicano generator with scores and leaderboard

A Mexicano is always doubles: four players per court, two against two. Each player enters on their own, has a new partner every round, and scores for themselves. The first round is a random draw or set by level. After that, the standings decide who plays with and against whom, so the draw isn't printed in advance.

The difference from an Americano is the draw. An Americano is a fixed schedule you can print before the first serve. A Mexicano re-pairs players from the current standings after every round, which is why Padel Browser describes it as keeping every match competitive even when the group has a wide gap in level. The Mexicano guide explains the format in full, and the Americano generator builds the fixed version.

Some AI answers describe Mexicano as three players taking turns at singles. That is wrong: it is doubles.

List your players, one per line, from 4 to 32, or choose a number and press Fill in names. Then set:

• Courts, from 1 to 8. One court seats four players, so 8 players fill 2 courts and 12 fill 3.
• Rounds, from 1 to 30. Most evenings use 5 to 8.
• Match ends. First to N ends when a side reaches N points. Scores add up to N ends when the two scores total N, so every match is the same length. A combined target must be an even number, so a level result is possible.
• First round. Random draw, or In the order entered, where you put the strongest players first.
• Leaderboard by. Points scored or Win margin.

Press Start round 1. Each court shows its two teams with a box for each side's score. Type the scores as matches finish. The leaderboard updates as you type, and Draw round 2 switches on when every court has a score that fits the match rule. If you make a mistake, Undo last round goes back one round and Start over returns to the form.

Each score is checked against your rule. With first to 17, 15–12 is flagged as not finished, 17–17 can't happen and 18–12 is over the target.

It ranks everybody by the leaderboard and fills the courts from the top, four at a time. Ranks 1 to 4 go to court 1, ranks 5 to 8 to court 2, and so on. On each court the 1st-ranked player partners the 4th against the 2nd and the 3rd. Padel Browser gives the same pattern: the leader with #4 and #2 with #3 on court one, #5 with #8 and #6 with #7 on court two.

The reason is balance: putting the top two together would make one side far stronger. Pairing 1st with 4th and 2nd with 3rd keeps both sides close.

Other organizers split the four differently, for example 1st with 3rd against 2nd with 4th. This tool uses 1+4 against 2+3, as in Flobit's Mexicano guide. Round 1 uses the same split on its starting order. Nothing stops two players from being partners again later, since each round follows the table.

Every player takes their side's points onto their own total. The leaderboard shows rank, points, margin and matches played, and ranks by whichever measure you chose:

If two players are level on the main measure, the other measure breaks the tie, and if they are still level a fixed random draw does, made once at the start so the table doesn't change when you reload. Pick the one that suits your night and tell the group before round one.

Players who don't fit on a court sit out, and the sit-outs rotate. Anyone who sat out more often than the others is first to play next, then the better-ranked players, so nobody sits out twice before everybody has sat out once. With 10 players on 2 courts, two sit out each round. With 5 players on 1 court, one does.

Players who have played fewer matches have lower totals, so the leaderboard also shows matches played. Where you can, pick a number of rounds that gives everyone the same number of sit-outs.

Yes. Print gives a clean page with the leaderboard and every round with its scores. Copy for WhatsApp puts the rounds and the leaderboard on your clipboard as plain text. Download CSV saves every match with its two scores, a row for each group of players resting, and then the leaderboard, ready for Excel or Google Sheets. The file starts with a UTF-8 byte order mark so non-Latin names display correctly. It uses a semicolon in Azerbaijani, Russian, Turkish and Spanish, where Excel usually expects one.

Everything runs in your browser. There is no login, and the names and scores you type are not sent to Flobit.
