Super Mexicano

Same live-ranked pairing as Mexicano, but points won on the top court count double.

What is Super Mexicano?

Super Mexicano is Mexicano with one twist: points scored on Court 1 — the top court, where the highest-ranked players are grouped — count twice toward standings by default. Every other rule is identical: fours grouped by live rank, the same default 1+4 vs 2+3 pairing style, and open-ended rounds.

The bonus multiplier applies automatically the moment you pick this format — no extra setup step — and it changes the strategy, not just the score sheet: winning big on the top court is worth noticeably more than winning big on court 2 or 3, so climbing the ladder matters.

Because the multiplier only touches points earned on court 0 (the top court), players who never reach it are scored exactly as they would be in plain Mexicano.

How it works

Scoring

Best for

Competitive groups of 8+ on 2+ courts who want an extra incentive to fight for the top court, not just to win their own match.

Worked example

A team wins 24–12 on the top court: with the default 2× bonus, that adds 48 and 24 points to those two players’ totals instead of 24 and 12. A team winning the same 24–12 scoreline on court 2 only adds the plain 24 and 12 — so an identical result is worth twice as much on the top court.

Super Mexicano FAQ

How is Super Mexicano different from regular Mexicano?

The pairing rules are identical — fours grouped by live rank, re-paired every round. The only difference is that points won specifically on the top court (Court 1) count double toward standings by default.

Does the bonus apply to every court?

No, only the top court (the group’s highest-ranked four). Every other court scores at the normal rate.

Can I change the top-court multiplier?

Padelay defaults it to ×2, and that’s the value used throughout this guide; the app applies it automatically when you pick Super Mexicano.
