EffePadelle: Create Your Own Padel Competition
Play competitive padel with the people you actually like. EffePadelle organises everything: matches, partners, scheduling and scores. Create a competition in one minute, invite your friends with a link, and start playing.
CASUAL COMPETITIONS (ONGOING)
A real competition with your friend group, spread over weeks or months, without fixed Fridays or Saturday mornings. You play full matches, just whenever it suits everyone.
• Create in 1 minute and invite friends with a shareable link
• EffePadelle generates all matches automatically
• Match cards show who you play with and against
• Plan together with the built-in date picker and group chat
• Smart calendar sync shows which evenings and weekend days work for everyone
• Agree on an evening or a weekend day in the chat, then book the court wherever you like
• Enter your scores after playing and the standings update straight away
• Two rounds are open at once. Round 3 unlocks when round 1 is done, so there is always a match to plan and nobody runs ahead of the group
Choose your format:
Fixed partner. You and your partner take on every other pair. Fewer rounds, consistent teams.
Individual points. A new partner every round against two different opponents. You keep going until you have partnered with everyone once, so in a group of 7 that is 6 rounds and one full match with every friend.
The group chat opens before the competition does, so you can plan and build hype from day one.
ONE-DAY TOURNAMENTS
Perfect for padel trips, birthdays, corporate events, clubs, or an afternoon with friends. From 4 to 50+ players.
A simple wizard walks you through players, courts, court time and rounds, and shows whether everyone gets equal playing time. Tap start and EffePadelle generates every round, partner, opponent and court assignment.
For example:
• 4 players, 90 minutes: 6 rounds of 15 minutes, so you play with each person twice. Or 3 rounds of 30 minutes and once with each
• 12 friends in Alicante, 3 courts, 2 hours: EffePadelle runs the whole thing
Or host your own tournament anywhere. Invite friends, family or colleagues and let the chat start beforehand.
Tournaments use the same two formats. Choose fixed partners, or individual points and let everyone rotate. Rotating is perfect when four players of different levels share a court, because nobody gets stuck in the same pairing for the whole session.
TOURNAMENT FEATURES
• Built-in timer with a buzzer at every round change
• Push notifications for every player at every round and court change, so nobody misses a switch even without hearing the buzzer
• Apple Watch support for every player: timer, round changes, partners, opponents and courts on your wrist
• Connect a speaker for the buzzer and music while you play
• Group chat before and during the tournament
• Desktop leaderboard in fullscreen, ideal on a TV, with live scores and a scorekeeper mode
• Smart rotation for any group size, uneven numbers included, so no one sits out unnecessarily
HOW ACCOUNTS WORK
Hosts sign in with Google or Apple and share an invite link. Players with a free account join instantly, chat in the group and keep their personal stats, wins and progress across every competition. No account? The host can add anyone as a guest. Guests play along, but their stats aren't saved and chatting from their own device requires an account.
PERFECT FOR
Casual competitions: friend groups who want to play competitively with people they actually like, without a compulsory Friday night or Saturday morning.
One-day tournaments: padel trips (4-12+ players), birthday tournaments (4-30+), business and club events (12-50+), and groups of 4 with or without mixed skill levels.
WHY PLAYERS LIKE IT
See your friends more often. Real league feeling, zero admin.
