OpenPadel

A lightweight padel tournament app. Supports Americano (rotating partners, point-based) and Mexicano (pairings adapt by standings).

Features

• Americano — round-robin rotation, configurable points per game, live leaderboard
• Mexicano — dynamic pairings based on standings, no bench players
• Join by 4-character session code, no account required
• Real-time score updates via SSE (with a polling fallback for buffering proxies)
• Push notifications when a tournament starts (PWA)
• User accounts with career stats split by game mode

Stack

• Backend — Go, SQLite (via mattn/go-sqlite3), deployed on Fly.io (Stockholm region)
• Frontend — SvelteKit 5, Tailwind CSS, Bun
• Auth — JWT, bcrypt password hashing
