BluePadel is a camera + AI system installed at the court. Cameras watch the rally, our AI scores every point, and the new score arrives on each player's smartwatch as a single haptic tap. Deploy it four ways — from an on-court Pro rig that scores in about a second to a low-cost cloud setup — all live, on the wrist.
Every direct competitor in this market — Wingfield, PlaySight, Mojjo, Clutch, Padelytics — leads with match recording, AI highlights, or post-match analytics. All of it delivered on a screen, after the energy of the rally is gone.
— from the BluePadel positioning brief
The wrist is where players physically feel the product, on the court, in the moment. Everything else is delivered later, on a screen, when the energy is gone. We measure success by how fast the score reaches your wrist.
The same scoring engine that runs offline in our watch apps runs here. Each rally flows through five stages — and where the AI runs (on the court, on a shared club server, or in our cloud) is what sets the tier, and the speed.
Cameras mounted around the court frame the full playing area — players, ball, walls. Lite tiers use two cameras; Pro tiers use four 4K cameras for the highest capture quality. Non-invasive mounts, no court surface changes.
A purpose-built, motion-aware ball tracker plus player detection and court mapping turn the rally into event timestamps — bounces, shot impacts, wall contacts. On Pro tiers this runs on the court or a shared club server; on the cloud tier the footage streams to our South African cloud.
Events feed the padel rules engine, which handles walls in play, lets, deuce variants (Golden / Silver / Bronze), super-tiebreak finals, and the Mexicano / Americano single-set formats.
A persistent connection to each paired watch (Apple Watch, Wear OS, or our Garmin client) delivers the new score. Pro tiers reach the wrist in about a second; Lite tiers in a few.
One tap on the wrist, score updates, glanceable BluePadel scoreboard ready when you look. No scoreboards on the wall. No notebooks. No arguing about what the score was.
From a full on-court Pro rig (~1s) to a low-cost cloud setup (~5s) — pick by budget and latency.
The system knows the difference between a club ladder match, a Friday night Americano, and a kickabout with friends. Player identity persists across all three; rating only counts in competitive play.
Locked roster, Americano or Mexicano rotation over many rounds, leaderboard at the end. Designed for club nights and one-day events.
Two pairs play, the result updates each player's persistent rating. Padel's equivalent of a tennis ladder match. Requires player accounts.
Same flow as Competitive but no rating impact. Just logged to history. For the casual pickup match with mates after work.
A bigger membership draw, repeat bookings, organic social content, and tournament infrastructure — from one camera + AI system, at the tier that fits your budget.
Be the first club in your area with live wrist-scoring on a court. A talking-point for members and a draw for trial sessions.
Every point recorded, replay clips shareable to social — organic marketing for the club, content for members.
Personal dashboards members keep coming back for. Drives repeat bookings and gives coaches a new tool.
Automated scoring for in-house tournaments, including Americano and Mexicano rotations. Live scoreboards and replays.
On the cloud tier, footage is stored and processed in-country under POPIA. On Pro/centralised tiers, video never leaves the club.
Members without an installed court can still score by hand with the standalone Garmin, Wear OS, or Apple Watch app.
