Padel group-stage tournament
without the hassle
Slams splits teams into pools automatically, builds the schedule and keeps the standings up to date. You never have to calculate a thing by hand.
Why a group-stage format works so well in padel
A pool format guarantees every team plays several matches, even if they lose the first one. That makes it far more enjoyable for players than a straight knockout. They get a feel for their opponents, they play more and the day is full.
For the organiser a group-stage tournament is more complex than a knockout: multiple groups, multiple standings, a schedule per pool. Slams takes all that number crunching off your hands. You choose how many pools and how many teams per pool, and the rest runs automatically.
