Club Mexicano

Mexicano’s live ranked pairing, built to run a whole club night across many courts.

What is Club Mexicano?

Club Mexicano is the same dynamic, rank-based pairing engine as Mexicano — fours grouped by live standings, re-paired after every round — sized for a large club turnout across many simultaneous courts instead of one small group.

With more players and more courts, more groups of four form each round, but the mechanics don’t change: rank 1+4 vs 2+3 within each group by default, sit-outs balanced by fewest byes so far when the count doesn’t divide evenly by 4.

Like Mexicano, it’s open-ended — you add rounds for as long as the club night runs, and the whole field re-sorts and re-groups every time.

How it works

Scoring

Best for

16 to 32+ players across 4+ courts who want Mexicano’s competitive, ranking-driven matchups at full club-night scale.

Worked example

Twenty players, 5 courts, points to 24: round 1 uses the starting order to fill 5 groups of four. After scoring, the whole field of 20 re-sorts by points and splits back into 5 fresh, similarly-ranked groups of four for round 2.

Club Mexicano FAQ

How is Club Mexicano different from regular Mexicano?

The pairing rules are identical — fours grouped by live rank, re-paired every round. Club Mexicano is just sized for a bigger roster across more courts at once.

Can I run Club Mexicano with an odd group size or one that isn’t a multiple of 4?

Yes — the leftover players sit out that round, chosen by fewest byes so far, so rest stays balanced across a large field.

Is there a fixed number of rounds in Club Mexicano?

No, same as Mexicano — it’s open-ended. Add rounds for as long as the session runs.
