How do you manage your americano tournaments logistics?

*I actually came across Padelution before but having to register and enter a phone number just to get started put me off. Is it worth it? And do the other players also need to create an account or is it just the organizer?*

*Oh nice find! I just had a look at the website and it seems pretty solid. I also noticed they have free Excel templates for different player counts which is exactly what I needed in the meantime. Going to give the app a proper try for my next tournament and report back!*

Thanks! Does it handle odd numbers of players? most tools I've tried don't manage that well

Second this. Claude can build you an html app which you can basically use in a browser page and after the initial load will work offline too. It will look and feel like a website. Put all your requirements in as bullet points, if you're not sure how you want it to look describe your requirements such as "I want it to be able to do xxx". You can ask it to be able to upload data like your participants list via excel (it will probably require a csv format but it looks just like excel and opens in excel) or manually. You could ask "I need to be able to easily enter scores and results and assign the next opponents". With an html app you can send it to other devices and use it on a mobile phone or tablet, note that it won't share data across devices without more sophisticated app hosting and costs, but it will still work in a browser in that device. It will store the data and history (if you ask it to) in your browsers cache. This is genuinely a cool way to use AI instead of just wasting water on making anime profile pics. Claude will only allow you to make so many edits and ask a limited number of questions per day with a free account so it could take a couple days to refine. Don't mean to over explain any terms or appear condescending, just didn't want to assume any prior knowledge. If you do try it would love to see screenshots or share the html app... Good luck and enjoy

Forgot (i let people chose their initial partner) I either just sort the list in random or use my knowledge of the people to start reasonably ordered by level.

*That sounds a lot like Mexicano format if I'm not mistaken? I just discovered that format while browsing the app* u/naripan *mentioned (Americano Padel Manager)* *It actually supports both Americano and Mexicano which I didn't know was a thing. Is your POZO format similar or is it something different?*

*Did you share it anywhere or is it just for your group?*

*What website or tool do you use for that? Did you build it yourself or is it something available to everyone?*

*Just downloaded it, looks promising! Will try it out at my next one and let you know*
