Configure team lineups
Team lineup configuration defines how many lines each team matchup includes and what each line requires. Set this up before you generate matches so every round uses the right structure.
Find this in Event Settings → Team Lineup Configuration. If you are deciding between standard MLP and a flexible setup, start with MLP vs. Custom Team Event.
What you configure for each line
Line name: The label shown in matchups and lineup editing, such as Women’s Doubles or Mixed Doubles 1.
Description: An optional note that explains who can play the line.
Players required: How many players each side needs for that line.
You can also set the Number of Lines for the event, from 1 to 10.
Add or remove lines
Change the Number of Lines dropdown to increase or decrease the total number of lines.
Adding lines creates new lines at the bottom with default values.
Removing lines deletes lines from the bottom.
Click Save to keep your changes.
MLP defaults
The MLP format uses five preset lines:
Women’s Doubles
Men’s Doubles
Mixed Doubles 1
Mixed Doubles 2
Tiebreaker
Each of the first four lines requires two players per side. The tiebreaker requires four players per side.
Custom team events
Custom Team Event gives you full control over line count, line names, descriptions, and players required. Use it when your format does not match the standard MLP structure.
The tiebreaker line
The last line is usually the tiebreaker. In most events, it requires all available team members. The tiebreaker is scheduled and played like every other line. It is not added only when the matchup is tied.
After you finish lineup setup, review Configure team scoring and then Generate team matches.
