05 · Questions

Good to
know.

How is it different from Americano?

Americano rotates partners to mix everyone together. Mexicano pairs each round from the standings, so the games get closer as the night goes on.

When does it end?

Whenever the host decides. A Mexicano has no fixed number of rounds.

Can we play club against club?

Yes, with Club Team Mexicano. Each pair plays for one of two clubs, and the table shows the club totals.

Does it count toward my rating?

Yes, toward your social rating. Tournaments and leagues also count toward your competitive rating.
