What are Maldiciones in padel?

Maldiciones (Spanish for 'curses') are 17 special cards that add fun chaos to padel tournaments. Before a match, the winning team from the previous round can cast a curse on their opponents — forcing them to play with restrictions like playing left-handed, no talking, or using mini paddles.

How do Maldiciones curse cards work?

After winning a match, the winning team draws a curse card and casts it on their next opponents. The cursed team must follow the restriction for the entire match. However, teams can use Shield cards to block curses. There are 3 difficulty levels: Green (mild), Yellow (challenging), and Red (extreme).

What are the 3 chaos levels for Maldiciones?

Lite mode uses only Green cards (mild restrictions like no talking). Medium mode adds Yellow cards (harder restrictions like one-handed play). Hardcore mode includes Red cards (extreme challenges like playing with reversed hands). Choose based on your group's comfort level.

Can I use Maldiciones with any tournament format?

Yes! Maldiciones can be combined with any PadelDay tournament format — Americano, Mexicano, Team, or Club. The curse system adds a fun party element to any competitive format. Special Maldiciones awards are unlocked when playing with curses enabled.

What is the Shield mechanic in Maldiciones?

Shields let a team block an incoming curse. Each team gets a limited number of shields per tournament. Using a shield cancels the curse entirely. Strategic shield use adds another layer of tactics — do you save your shield for a harder curse later, or block now?
