Wedding padel tournament

A wedding padel tournament is a relaxed way to get both families and friendship groups mixing before the big day, whether it's part of the welcome weekend or a morning activity for guests staying nearby. iTournee takes care of the organising: balanced teams, an automatic schedule, and live scores on every guest's phone, all from one link you can share in the wedding group chat. Create it at /new.

How it works for your wedding weekend

Paste in the names of guests who want to play and let the balanced random draw mix up the bride's side, the groom's side, and friends who've never met before. If you'd rather keep couples or close friends paired together, use fixed partners instead. A League format means everyone gets several games without anyone being knocked out early — handy if people are coming and going around other wedding plans.

Guests open the shared link on their own phone to see their next match and court, with live scores updating as they go. There's no app to install before travelling, and no accounts to set up for guests who might only play padel this once. The printable view is handy if you want a schedule on paper for a venue noticeboard too.

Practical tips for the day

  • Keep it casual: a League with short timed matches suits guests of mixed ability and limited time.
  • Schedule it earlier in the weekend so it doesn't clash with the ceremony or reception timings.
  • Use the Mixed pairs draw if you'd like balanced men/women pairings across the group.
  • See how to run a padel tournament for a general step-by-step if this is your first time organising one.
