The short version

FOM Play keeps game night tidy from setup to results.

The host chooses the format and players, then enters scores during play. Players and spectators can follow what is shared. Once the session is finalized, qualifying results add to registered players’ history and MMR.

The basics

What is FOM Play?

FOM Play is a web app for running social padel: set up the session, score matches, check the standings, then keep player history, MMR from eligible results for registered players, and the recap.

Is it free?

FOM Play’s core experience is currently free to try. Open the app to see which features are available on your account.

Which devices can I use?

FOM Play runs in a modern phone browser. On supported iOS and Android devices, you can also add it to the home screen.

Playing & sharing

Do my friends need accounts to follow the scores?

No. The viewer link is read-only and does not require a login. It refreshes when the round, game, set, or session reaches specific milestones—not after every score tap.

Which formats are supported?

Americano, Mexicano, and Match Play. All three support rotating or fixed partners and ranking by Matches Won or Points Won. Americano prepares rounds up front, Mexicano balances match counts before standings, and Match Play uses tennis scoring.

What is FOM Rewind?

A recap of a finalized session. Depending on the result, slides can include the numbers, podium, partnerships, and awards that meet the requirements, ready to view, download, or share.

Ranking & Toxic Mode

How does the ranking work?

Registered-player MMR is calculated from eligible results after a match is finalized. There are eight tiers from Rookie to Hall of Fame, with a global view and an available province filter.

Can I turn Toxic Mode off?

Yes. Before the match ends, the host can change or disable it unless Birthday Mode is active. Once it ends, the final choice is locked. While Birthday Mode is active, Toxic Mode stays on Savage.

Is Toxic Mode mean?

The banter only draws from match results, but everyone has a different limit. Get the group’s consent, choose the intensity together, and leave it off if anyone is uncomfortable.

Clear enough to start?

Try it for one session.

Pick a format, add the players, and start round one. FOM keeps the scores and standings tidy.
