Padel Shuffle is a variation of Americano, modified so you can play on as many courts as you need and making the matches more balanced.

How it works

A shuffle tournament typically lasts 2 hours and is divided into 2 rounds.

For the first round, each player is assigned to a court randomly. Players go to their court, enter their names of the score sheet, and play the matches as shown on the score sheet.

With 5 players per court, each player gets to serve 5 times for a total of 20 points per match. You do not count games: Each point counts! Example scores for a 5 player shuffle are 12-8 and 10-10. With 4 players per court, each player gets to serve 8 times for a total of 32 points per match.

At the end of the round, player points are totaled to determine the rankings for the players of each court. The two players with the most points go up one court, the two players with the least points go down one court.

Assign groups of 4 or 5 players to each court. Try to organize players based on their level, to ensure you have balanced matches from the start. A rating system or previous tournament results can help to determine the level of individual players.
