Round Robin Formats

Court Management (Round Robin)

You can configure courts, auto-assign them, and control whether each round is limited by your available courts.

Configure courts

  1. Tap the admin button.

  2. Select Configure Courts.

  3. Enter your court numbers. You can use ranges such as 1-12, 15.

  4. Choose whether to apply the configuration to this division or the entire tournament.

  5. Tap Save.

The dialog shows which courts are already in use by other divisions so you can avoid conflicts.

Use Restrict Courts when generating or editing rounds

If courts are already configured for the event, the round robin generation and edit rounds dialogs show a Restrict Courts checkbox.

By default, it is off. When it is off, the app schedules as many matches as possible in each round, even if you have fewer courts than matches. Extra matches wait for a court to open.

When you turn it on, the app limits each round to the number of configured courts. For example, if you have 12 players in doubles and 2 courts, the app schedules 2 matches in the round instead of 3. The remaining team gets a bye for that round.

The checkbox updates to show the exact limit, such as Restrict to 2 Courts, with a note that only 2 matches will be scheduled per round and remaining players get a bye.

Use this when you want every match in a round to start and finish together. If you leave it off, one match may need to wait and the round can take longer to complete.

This option appears in the initial generation dialog for rotating partner matches and in the edit rounds dialog when you add rounds or regenerate rounds. For the generation flow, see Generating matches in Round Robin. For round updates, see Managing rounds in Round Robin.

Auto-assign courts

  1. Tap the admin button.

  2. Select Auto-Assign Courts to toggle it on or off.

When enabled, the system automatically distributes matches across your configured courts. Courts are assigned to unassigned matches first, and the system avoids double-booking courts that are already occupied.

Auto-assign runs each time a match completes, so upcoming matches stay updated.

Assign a court manually

To assign or change a court on a specific match:

  1. Tap the match card.

  2. Select Reassign Court.

  3. Pick the court number.

This overrides auto-assign for that match only.
