FOR EVENT ORGANISERS

Thirty-two players. Eight courts. No spreadsheet.

padelfin handles the whole arc of a padel event: selling tickets, matching players by level, generating the rotation, checking people in at the door and settling refunds if the weather turns. We built it because we run our own events on it.

THE NIGHT BEFORE

The padel is the easy part.

It is the night before and you are cross-referencing a payment list against a WhatsApp thread, hand-building a rotation so nobody plays the same partner twice, and hoping the two people who paid by transfer actually turn up. Then someone cancels at eight in the morning and the whole grid has to move. padelfin does all of that in software, so the evening you run is the evening you planned.

THE TOOLKIT

Everything between selling a ticket and handing out the trophy

Ticketing that creates accounts

Sell player and spectator tickets with card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Bizum. Each sale creates a real player account, so your event grows the community rather than just filling a night.

Americana rotation generator

Mixed-pair americana across as many courts as you have, with everyone playing with everyone and nobody sitting out twice. Built in seconds, rebuilt in seconds when someone drops.

Court ladders by level

Court 1 for beginners up to Court 8 for the strongest, win a round and climb, lose and drop. Everyone gets competitive games, and a first-timer is never stranded against a club champion.

QR check-in at the door

Scan people in as they arrive. You see live headcount, who is missing and who paid, without holding a clipboard.

One control room

Live headcount, takings, gender balance, VIP list, photo-consent exclusions and a roster export — one screen, updating as tickets sell.

Refunds that just happen

Rain, a closure, a cancelled night — refund everyone in one sweep. padelfin has settled full-event refunds without a single chargeback.

HOW IT WORKS

From empty venue to full roster

1
Set up the event
Venue, date, courts, format, ticket price and capacity. You get a public signup page with a live spots-remaining counter.
2
Share one link
Instagram, WhatsApp, your club's list. Players buy, pay and register themselves — you are not typing anyone in by hand.
3
Generate the rotation
One tap turns your final roster into a full schedule, level-matched across every court and every round.
4
Run the night
Check people in, push round announcements, record results. Everyone leaves with their games on their profile — which is what brings them back.

QUESTIONS

What event organisers ask

What formats does it support?

Mixed-pair americana, level-based court ladders, ladder leagues and standard tournament rosters. The 17 September launch event runs a five-round mixed americana across eight courts with a level ladder — all of it generated by the software described here.

Can I run a free event?

Yes. Set the ticket price to zero and use padelfin purely for registration, rotations and check-in. The fee only exists where money changes hands.

Do players need to know their level?

No. They give a rough self-assessment at signup and the ladder sorts the rest within the first round or two. That is precisely why a level ladder beats a fixed bracket for a mixed-ability crowd.

Can I manage VIPs and guest lists?

Yes — invite VIPs directly, track invited versus accepted, and handle photo-consent exclusions so your photographer knows who not to shoot. All of it sits in the same event control room.
