King of the Court — padel guide

You want players competing to reach the strongest court.

PAHANDUS editorial team28-09-2026

Who can play?

At least 8 players. Available disciplines: doubles. Setup checks additional roster and court constraints before starting.

How it works

  • Choose at least two courts and seed your players.
  • Confirm every court result before creating the next block.
  • Winners move up and losers down; there is no further court beyond either end.

A practical example

Eight people on two courts: lower-court winners rise and upper-court losers drop. The ladder changes every block.

Scoring and time

The match score and tournament points are different. Check the selected scoring profile and ranking rules before starting. Where match points are used, 3/2/1 means win/draw/loss; 2/1/0 works the same way with different values. Knockout qualification still requires a winner.

Before you start

Final standings follow the selected ranking rules. Being on the top court at the final whistle does not automatically mean winning the tournament.

Confirm the venue, actual courts, names, score rules and schedule. Share the player link or QR; keep organiser access private.
