What is it?

What is Team Mexicano?

Team Mexicano combines fixed pairs with the smart scheduling of Mexicano. You play alongside your regular partner, but each round the opponent is decided by the standings: number 1 plays number 2, 3 plays 4, and so on. That way the matches keep getting more evenly matched.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

In Team Americano all pairs play each other in a round-robin; in Team Mexicano the opponent is decided each round by the running standings, so the matches become more evenly matched.

At least 4 pairs, so that matching on the standings from round 2 onwards makes sense.
