Fairness first
Most arguments at social tournaments are about pairings and who sits out. PadelDraw turns them into rules.
- Fair sit-outs
- Nobody sits out twice before everyone has sat out once.
- Few repeats
- Playing with or against the same people again is kept to a minimum.
- Reproducible draw
- The same seed always gives the same schedule, so the draw can be explained and checked.
- Clear tie-breaks
- On equal points, wins, point difference and head-to-head decide, in that order.
