Keep the courts full.
Padel (padel) is the fastest-growing sport on the planet — and a doubles ladder is the simplest way to turn drop-in players into a regular community. Pairs challenge, play, and log their own scores. You just keep the slots booked. Optional owe-and-receive handicaps (15, 30, 40) keep matches close between pairs of different standards.
Free for venues and players · set up in minutes · no card requiredA doubles ladder gives every pair a reason to book another slot this week.
Share a single join link — drop-in players turn into paying members.
Pairs log their own scores and the ladder reshuffles itself in real time.
One ladder that books the next match for you
Padel lives and dies on doubles, so put every pair on a ladder. Challenge the pair above you, win, and take their rung — then they book the rematch. Nobody sits idle and the courts stay busy.
You decide how far a pair can reach, when challenges expire and what happens if one gets ignored. Players heading away can freeze their place and pick up exactly where they left off.
Seasonal divisions for your members
Want something more structured? Split your members into divisions and let the table recalculate the instant a result lands. Promotion and relegation roll the season over automatically.
Bonus points reward pairs who actually turn up and finish their matches — and the whole table exports to PDF for the clubhouse wall.
Spin up a knockout in seconds
Running an after-work session or an end-of-season finals night? Drop the pairs into a bracket and we handle the byes, the seeding and the live updates — so the whole venue can follow the run to the final.
The format padel made famous, run properly
Everyone enters solo, partners rotate every round, and each player keeps their own points — the americano is padel's favourite social night, and Tap Leagues generates the whole rotation for you.
Divisions of 4, 8 or 12 keep the level tight, and when the cycle rolls over it's players who get promoted and relegated — not pairs.
Open play nights that fill themselves
Run your drop-in sessions as meets: players RSVP with one tap, the waitlist promotes automatically when someone drops out, and balanced games are made on the night from whoever's on the glass.
Court fees? Paid sessions bill attendees after they've played — no cash box at the front desk.
Pairs log it, opponents approve it
No more chasing results across the group chat. Either pair enters the score courtside, the other taps to approve, and the ladder positions update automatically — set by set if you want them.
See which pairs are on a streak
Every result feeds live leaderboards — recent form, win rates and all-time records for everyone who plays at your venue.
Padel handicaps — owe and receive
Each player carries a handicap written the traditional way: Scratch, Receive 15, Receive 30, Receive 40, or Owe 15 and Owe 30 for the stronger players. A fraction such as Receive 15.3 means an extra point in three games of every six. When two players meet, the difference is played in every game.
- Receive 30 against Receive 15 nets to Receive 15: the weaker player starts every game 15–0 up.
- Owe 15 against Scratch: the stronger player starts every game at owe 15 and must win a point to reach love.
- Receive 15.3 against Scratch: 15–0 in every game, and 30–0 in games 2, 4 and 6 of every six (receive extras fall in the even games, owe extras in the odd ones).
With auto-adjust on, handicaps move in tenths: a deciding-set finish moves 0.1, a normal win 0.2 and a straight-sets whitewash 0.5 — five sixths of a fifteen, close to the scale real-tennis clubs use.
Available in box leagues, ladders, tournaments and americano leagues. Members see the start before they play, and the app scores each game from it.
