PADEL ORKANO

Padel Orkano is designed to create an engaging and dynamic format where players compete both individually and in pairs. It promotes fairness through equal participation, rewards individual performance, and fosters collaboration through rotating partnerships. The scoring system provides clear and decisive outcomes based on total points and set wins, with a range of tiebreaker options to ensure fairness and clarity in final rankings.

ONE FORMAT, MANY OPTIONS


Padel Orkano bridges the gap between the traditional format of regular padel matches and the fun, social nature of Americano. It offers the best of both worlds by incorporating elements of individual recognition and teamwork, ensuring that each player remains engaged throughout the competition. With a focus on dynamic gameplay, continuous social interaction, and a balanced competitive environment, Padel Orkano is the ideal choice for fun tournaments, leagues, and casual play alike.


HOW IT WORKS

  • You play fixed number of rounds , or as long as your time allows. Make sure all participants play equal number of rounds.


  • Rounds has sets. You play pre-decided  X number of games for the entire session. You can choose 4, 5 or 6 games. However, we we recommend 5 games. 


  • Team who reaches X number of games first wins the set. 


  • Ranking / result is based on induvial points they won. 

SCORING

  • Game Scoring: Standard padel rules apply for scoring games: 15, 30, 40, and game. In the case of a tie at 40-40 (deuce), the next point decides the winner, called golden point. Read more on official rules here.


  • Total Points: Points are awarded based on games won within each set. Players earn points for each game they win, and the setā€™s winner earns 1 additional points.


  • Player Points: The total points each player gains are accumulated over the course of the competition.


  • Final Standings: At the end of all sets, the player with the most total points is declared the winner. If thereā€™s still a tie after applying the tiebreakers, the player with the most set wins, followed by the other criteria, determines the ranking.
