Mixed doubles with a brand-new man+woman partner every round.
Mix Americano applies Americano’s "rotate every round" idea to mixed doubles: every team is always one man and one woman, and the app cycles through the pairings so each man partners each woman exactly once across the tournament (man i partners woman i+r in round r, wrapping around).
It needs a roster split by gender at setup — Padelay asks for each player’s gender specifically for this format — and works best with equal (or near-equal) numbers of men and women so every round pairs up cleanly.
Just like plain Americano, if there are more man+woman pairs than courts in a given round, the surplus pair sits out, with byes balanced so nobody rests twice before everyone else has rested once.
Mixed social groups with a roughly equal number of men and women — 8+ players (4+4 or similar) on 2+ courts, mixed-doubles club nights.
Four men and four women, 2 courts: round 1 is M1+W1 vs M2+W2 on court 1 and M3+W3 vs M4+W4 on court 2. Round 2 shifts the rotation so M1 partners W2, M2 partners W3, and so on — after 4 rounds, every man has partnered every woman exactly once.
Add your players, pick your courts and points, and Padelay builds the schedule instantly — free, no sign-up.
Play Mix Americano →It works best that way — the format pairs one man with one woman every round, so a roughly even split lets every round pair up cleanly.
Yes. Every round assigns a new man+woman pairing via the rotation, so over the tournament each man partners each woman once.
Mix Americano’s rotation is fixed in advance (like regular Americano); Mixicano re-pairs by live ranking after every round instead, like Mexicano.
