Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is an americano (paired) tournament? (Definition)
The Americano tournament, also known as the pairs tournament, is a sports competition format where participants are grouped into teams of two. Teams compete in a series of matches, and partners change each round so that all players have played both with and against all other players.
How to generate the rounds list for an americano championship?
Enter the list of tournament participants/competitors (players, people, etc.) into the table, one per box. Then click on the Generate button to start the random generation of the calendar per rounds (denoted #) of the tournament.
Each element on the board will team up with everyone else and meet everyone else.
Example: For a 4-player Americano tournament P1,P2,P3,P4, a possible draw is:
Game 1: (P1 & P3) vs. (P2 & P4)
Game 2: (P1 & P4) vs. (P2 & P3)
Game 3: (P2 & P1) vs. (P4 & P3)
! It is imperative that the number of participants is a multiple of 4 (for example 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32 players), otherwise some players will find themselves without a teammate or opponent.
Why are some encounters empty '???' in an Americano tournament?
Empty encounters, noted ??? in an Americano tournament occur when the number of players is not a multiple of 4.
In this case, some players may have a break during a round, because there are not enough partners or opponents available for everyone.
How are Americanos tournaments used in individual sports?
The Americano tournament can be adapted to organize games in teams of 2 for individual sports such as Tennis, Badminton, Padel, Squash, etc.
It is also the base for card-based games like Bridge tournaments.
