The padel organiser's evening, in one link

Most padel tools start at the draw. By then you have already done the hard part: chased eight people in a group chat, counted them twice, and remembered who still owes for the court. MyPadel starts there instead — and stays with you through the rounds, the scores and the picture you post afterwards.

Create a game

What happens, in order

  1. You create the gameDate, venue, how many courts and their real numbers at that club, how long a round runs, which format, and what the court costs. Two minutes, once.
  2. You send one linkIt carries the date, the venue and how many spots are left, and the messenger draws a card from the page itself. People tap it because it looks like something, not like a link from a stranger.
  3. People add themselvesThey type a name. Nothing else — no account, no password, no phone number. The ones you already know you add yourself in one tap each; they are saved and offered as buttons next week.
  4. The queue runs itselfWhen the game fills, the next person joins the waiting list. If someone drops out, the first in the queue moves up automatically, and you get a ready-made message to paste into the chat.
  5. You mark who has paidA toggle beside each name and a running count: 3 of 8 paid. The money still goes straight between you and your players — we never touch it.
  6. You draw the roundsOne at a time, or the whole evening at once. Nobody repeats a partner while a fresh pairing exists, nobody sits out twice running, and the teams stay roughly even.
  7. Scores go in between roundsThe table computes itself. The same link now shows every player their court and their partner, and refreshes on its own — sixteen phones stay in sync without you asking anyone to reload.
  8. You post the resultOne tap turns the final standings into an image for the group chat. It still makes sense a week later, when the link has moved on to the next game.

Why one link and not an app

An account is for you. Your games, your player list, your group settings live behind a sign-in. Players never get one, and that is deliberate: a sign-up screen between a person and their name costs you half the roster, and the half it costs is the newcomers.

Nothing to install. The link opens in whatever browser the phone already has. A person who joined a padel group last Tuesday is not going to download an app for it, and should not have to.

It works for the person who never used it. Ten seconds, one field, on a phone, in a chat they were already in.

What it does not do

  • It does not book courts. You book with the club as you always did; MyPadel takes it from there.
  • It does not take payments. You can add a payment link or your bank details, and players see them once they are on the roster — the money goes directly between you.
  • It does not post to WhatsApp or Telegram by itself. Sharing opens your phone's own share menu and you choose the chat.
  • It does not keep a public rating of players. These are groups of friends, not a marketplace.

Questions organisers ask

Is it really free?
Yes, and there is no trial that ends. If it ever costs money, it will be for something you do not have today, and the sign-ups, the draw and the scores will stay free.
Do my players need an account?
No. They type a name. A contact is asked for only on the waiting list, because a spot opening two hours before the game is useless if nobody can be told.
What if someone drops out an hour before?
The first person on the waiting list moves up automatically and you get a message ready to paste into the chat. If nobody can come, redraw for the smaller number — it takes seconds.
Can I run the same game every week?
Yes. Repeat copies a past game to the same day next week — venue, courts, format, payment details, everything except the date and the roster. People sign up fresh, which is the point.
Which formats does it play?
Americano, Mexicano, Mixicano, King of the Court, balanced and random draws. Scoring is normal padel games, an Americano pool of points, or just who won.
What happens to the link after the game?
It keeps working and shows the result. It is never indexed by search engines, because it carries the real names of a dozen people who did not agree to that.

Running one this week?

Set the game up in two minutes and send the link. Players need no account.
