Single Mexicano Tournament

How Mexicano Works

Mexicano is a padel tournament format where players accumulate points individually, and players are re-paired after every round based on the current leaderboard standings.

Pairing Logic

After each round, all players are sorted by total points won (or matches won). The pairing algorithm groups players of similar standing together — the top-ranked players face each other, and the lower-ranked face each other.

• Players ranked 1 & 3 partner against players ranked 2 & 4
• Players ranked 5 & 7 partner against players ranked 6 & 8, and so on...
• Also, contrary to the classic Mexicano, we try to ensure no two players are paired together (whenever possible) in 2 consecutive matches.
• Since pairings are purely rank-driven, the same two players can end up as partners or opponents in multiple rounds if their standings remain close.
