Mixicano (two groups) — padel guide

You want one person from each band in every pair. Bands may represent skill rather than gender.

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

  • Set the A and B bands.
  • Partners rotate while the A+B rule remains.
  • Results belong to players, not one fixed pair for the entire evening.

A practical example

Eight players: A1–A4 and B1–B4. Every court has A+B pairs facing each other.

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

Check band sizes before generating games. The system does not infer gender from names.

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