Why PadelFlow
Most of the “mexicano generators” you find online are really americano generators: they produce a full round schedule before the first ball is hit, and you follow it for the rest of the night. The problem is that a real mexicano cannot be planned in advance. The entire point of the format is that the next round is built from the standings — who you partner and who you face is decided by the scores you just entered.
PadelFlow therefore runs the actual algorithm, live: after each round everyone is ranked by points, the top four of those in play gather on court 1, the next four on court 2, and on every court numbers 1 and 3 team up against numbers 2 and 4. That keeps both teams as even as the standings allow — round after round, all night.
You only enter the result — every match is played to 24 points — and the app generates the next round at the tap of a button. For the full rules, scoring and variants, see the Mexicano page.
From zero to the first round takes under a minute — no registration, no spreadsheet:
Open app.padelflow.no — Mexicano is already selected, and no login is required.
Enter the player names and choose your courts — 4–32 players on 1–8 courts.
Hit start. Round 1 is a random draw, since everyone is on zero points.
Enter each score and generate the next round — the standings build the draw automatically.
Worked example
Here is the engine in practice, with eight players on two courts. After two rounds — the first drawn at random, the second built from the standings — the field looks like this:
| # | Player | Points | Wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anna | 29 | 2 |
| 2 | Emma | 27 | 2 |
| 3 | Carla | 27 | 1 |
| 4 | Greta | 25 | 1 |
| 5 | Hugo | 25 | 1 |
| 6 | David | 23 | 1 |
| 7 | Felix | 19 | 0 |
| 8 | Bruno | 17 | 0 |
Round 3 is built straight from this table. Note that Carla and Emma are level on 27 points — when the round is drawn only the points count, and here Carla drew the higher slot. So the draw became:
| Court | Pair 1 | Pair 2 | Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|
| Court 1 | Anna + Emma | Carla + Greta | 1 + 3 vs 2 + 4 |
| Court 2 | Hugo + Felix | David + Bruno | 5 + 7 vs 6 + 8 |
No static plan could have known this in advance: the draw simply does not exist until the scores are in. The numbers above are real output from PadelFlow's scheduler — and this is exactly how the engine keeps building rounds 4, 5 and 6 as the night goes on.
FAQ
Yes. Setting up and running mexicano sessions in PadelFlow is free — no card details, no subscription. Run as many sessions as you like.
No. Sessions work entirely without a login — open the app, enter the names and start. An account is only needed if you want shared groups with ratings and history.
Yes. Everything is stored locally on your device, so the session keeps working in halls with poor coverage. You can safely generate rounds and enter scores without a connection — nothing is lost.
You need at least four players per court, and can bring up to 32 players on 1–8 courts. Six players on one court works fine: four play, two sit out, and the bench rotates automatically so whoever has played the fewest matches goes back on first.
A static generator produces the full schedule before the first ball is hit — it cannot react to the results, and at that point it is no longer a real mexicano. PadelFlow builds every round from the standings as you play: the top four of those in play meet on court 1, and 1+3 play 2+4. That requires live scoring, and that is exactly what the app does.
