Padel, filmed through the glass without the glare
A padel court is a glass box, and that is the whole production problem. Reflections, the mesh, and a doubles game played off the walls - the camera positions and the exposure have to be planned for the court, not borrowed from tennis.

The padel scoreboard, built for padel
A generic score bug with the words changed does not work. These are the fields our graphics carry for padel, driven live from the scorer.
Camera plan
Positions are chosen for the sport and then adjusted for your venue. This is the starting point.
Above the back glass so the frame looks past the reflection instead of into it.
The full court for rallies that use the side walls.
Tight for the replay of a rebound off the back wall, which is padel's signature shot.
Tournament formats we cover
Doubles draws, usually best of three sets, run as a knockout or pools into a knockout across one or two courts. Club-level tournaments often run a whole draw in a single day, so the graphics carry the bracket as much as the score.
Why the camera plan matters more here
On a cricket field a slightly wrong camera height costs you a nice angle. On a padel court it costs you the match - a camera at the wrong height films the overhead lights bouncing off the back glass and the ball disappears. We plan positions after seeing the court, not from a template.
Everything else a padel tournament needs
The production is one part of it. These are the other services, and they share the same player list.
