How it works

Alone at an americano in Chicago: how it works

An americano is a social format where you change partners every round, so nobody needs to arrive with a pair and you play with and against everyone. Levels are mixed, and the organiser usually matches rounds so that games stay close. Arrive about 10 minutes early so you can pay, meet the organiser and warm up. Tell the organiser your level honestly (or say it is your first time) and they will seat you accordingly.

  1. Find a session below, open the official page and check the date, level and price.
  2. Book or turn up as the page says — many clubs need a sign-up even for open play.
  3. Come alone: bring sports shoes; rackets and balls can often be rented or borrowed.
  4. Meet people in Meet & Mint before or after, and plan the next game together.
