Online Tournament Maker for Padel & Pickleball
Have the players? Have the venue? Create your tournament in NextArena: set up divisions, add players and run the draw. See the formats you can run, then start in your dashboard.
Formats you can run
- Round robin
- Everyone plays everyone in their group. Good for smaller divisions. Standings decide the order.
- Pools into knockout
- Group stage first, then a knockout bracket. Good for larger divisions. The top teams from each pool advance.
- Knockout
- Lose once and you are out. Good when time is short. A bracket shows the route to the final.
You choose the format for each division in your dashboard.
