Padel Tournament Software for Clubs & Organisers
Padel is played in pairs, scored in games and sets, and run across a small number of busy courts. NextArena is built around that: pairs in divisions, padel scoring rules, draws, and a court schedule that stays in step with the results.
Pairs, levels and divisions.
Create a division for each group you want to run. Set the entry type, the gender category, the level range, the age range, the capacity and the entry fee. Each division has its own format and scoring.
Padel scoring that follows the match.
Choose the padel scoring format for each division. The scorer enters points on a phone, and the games and sets update from the rules.
Standard padel
Best of three sets.
Match tie-break final
Best of three sets, with a match tie-break as the deciding set.
Fast padel
One set, played to a set number of games. Good for busy social days.
Draws and formats for padel events.
Pick the structure for each division. Round robin suits small groups. Pools into knockout and knockout suit larger fields. Available formats can differ by competition, so we confirm them with you in the demo.
Round robin
Every team plays the others in their group. Standings set the order.
Pools into knockout
Teams play in pools. The top teams advance into a knockout bracket.
Knockout
Single elimination. A bracket shows the route to the final.
Courts that keep moving.
Padel venues have few courts and long queues of matches. The schedule needs to stay honest as matches run long.
Court assignments
Assign matches to courts and keep the schedule organised.
Match duration
Set an estimated match length for each division, so the schedule reflects how long padel matches take.
Live results
Scores and results update on the public event page as the scorer enters them.
Standings
Pools and round robin standings follow the results.
