# Team Mexicano

> Team Mexicano keeps pairs together and, after the first round, matches each pair against the pair closest to them in the standings (1st vs 2nd, 3rd vs 4th, …).

- **Players:** 2–12 pairs (4–24 players)
- **Best for:** Fixed teams that want competitive, evenly matched games.
- **Start one:** https://padel-americanoo.com/new?mode=team-mexicano&players=8&courts=2

## How it works

1. Enter the pairs and choose courts.
2. Round one is drawn at random.
3. Afterwards pairs are ranked and matched 1v2, 3v4 and so on, with the top match on court 1.

## Scoring

Per team: total points, then point difference, then wins.

## Tips

- Great for club ladders: the top court decides the winner.

## Example: 8 players on 2 courts

Round 1 is shown; later rounds are drawn from the standings.

| Round | Court 1 | Court 2 | Sitting out |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Player 5 & Player 6 vs Player 1 & Player 2 | Player 7 & Player 8 vs Player 3 & Player 4 | — |

## FAQ

### What happens with an odd number of pairs?

One pair sits out each round in turn. Bye compensation can credit their average points.
