Free tournament tools

Plan your tournament in ChatGPT

Choose pickleball or padel, then describe your players, courts and format. NextArena calculates the round robin, Americano, Mexicano or knockout draw using the same generators as this website.

Connect to ChatGPTUse the website generators

Available for custom MCP connections. A public directory install link is not available yet.

Pickleball round robin

Choose singles, fixed doubles teams or rotating doubles, with courts, times and byes.

Padel Americano

Generate rotating doubles partners and varied opponents before play.

Padel Mexicano

Enter each round’s scores, calculate individual standings and draw the next round.

Pickleball knockout brackets

Build seeded or random single-elimination brackets with provisional match times.

Try asking

“Generate a Mexicano for 12 players on three courts. Play five rounds of 32 rallies, starting at 6pm.”

Once NextArena is installed, ask naturally or select it with @NextArena. Mexicano starts with round 1; later pairings need the previous results.

Connect NextArena

  1. In ChatGPT, open Plugins and choose Add custom MCP server, if available for your account or workspace.

  3. Install the connection, start a new chat and select @NextArena.

Custom connections depend on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings. These generators are free from NextArena; ChatGPT access and usage limits are separate.

Your draw and scores

No NextArena account is required. Tool inputs are sent to NextArena to calculate your draw and returned to your conversation. They are not saved as a NextArena event. Keep the returned Mexicano state and scores in the same chat to continue; use numbered players if you prefer not to share names. Hosting services may retain operational logs. Please do not send contact details or other sensitive information.

If you correct an earlier Mexicano score, discard later rounds and regenerate from the corrected results. These tools create drafts and calculate standings; saving events, registration and publishing remain separate NextArena workflows.
