The Americano App for Padel, Tennis and Badminton
Running the night? Scorepion draws the pairs and keeps the ladder. Just playing? Track your own rounds. Either way, you score every point from your watch.
The short answer
Scorepion is an Americano app for padel, tennis and badminton. Run the whole event from your phone, or track your own rounds in one someone else is running. Every round can be scored point by point on Apple Watch or Wear OS.
Two ways to use it: run it or play in one
Start from the Home screen with New Americano. At the top of setup you pick one of two modes.
"I'm running it" is for the organiser. Scorepion draws the pairings each round, tracks every court and keeps the ladder.
"I'm playing in one" is for everyone else. Someone else runs the night, and you record your own matches so you know exactly where you stand.
Scorepion is a watch-first scoring app that runs Americano events for padel, tennis and badminton. New to the format? Start with what an Americano is and how it works.
How does it work for organisers?
Four steps, and you're on court.
The draw looks at earlier rounds and avoids repeat partnerships, so people keep meeting new partners. You can also change the points or the number of rounds while the event is running.

How does it work if you're just playing?
Participant mode has no player-count rule. You can start with just yourself and add people as you go.
Each round, pick the four players: you and your partner against two opponents. Then score it live or type in the final score.
Heard the result from the next court? Tap "Add another court" and type it in. Your ladder is your view of the event, built from what you logged. It's not the official standings, but it's usually close enough to know if you're in the mix.

Which sports can you play an Americano in?
Americano in Scorepion works for three sports. The rest of the app still scores all six sports as normal matches.
| Sport | Americano in Scorepion | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Padel | Yes | Padel Americano rules |
| Tennis | Yes | Tennis Americano |
| Badminton | Yes | Badminton Americano |
| Pickleball, squash, table tennis | Not for Americano (normal match scoring only) | - |
How does scoring work in each round?
Each round is played to a set total of points across both pairs. In a 24-point round, the score could end 14-10, 16-8 or 12-12. The two scores always add up to the target.
A level score is a draw, and that's a legal result. Both pairs bank their points in full.
Every player collects the points their pair scored onto their own ladder. There's no bonus for winning a round and no games count. Players on equal points share a rank.
In a Scorepion Americano the serve changes every 2 points and rotates through all four players: A1, A1, B1, B1, A2, A2, B2, B2. Fix the server and that player's block of two starts again.
Can you score it on your watch?
Yes. Each round is an ordinary match on the watch, so you tap once per point on Apple Watch or Wear OS.
Instead of games and sets, the watch shows the round number and the points played. Undo is there when someone taps the wrong side. Event setup happens on the phone only.
Here's the full walkthrough: how to score an Americano on Apple Watch or Wear OS.
What does it cost?
One match credit per event, charged when you create it. Every round inside it is free. Pro is unlimited.
You get 5 free matches when you download, no card needed. Match packs never expire, and there are no ads. See pricing for the details.
Americano rounds don't change your Scorepion Level. Random partners over a short race aren't a fair skill signal. Instead, your lifetime Americano stats track events played, points banked, average finish and best finish.
