Edit player groups and regenerate in Rotating Partner Round Robin
In Rotating Partner Round Robin, remove a player who has left the event from the Players tab. Use Admin > Edit Player Groups on the Matches tab to move players between groups or sit someone out, then rebuild the schedule. Groups hold individual players, not partnerships, because partners change every round.
Remove a player who dropped out for the rest of the event
Use the remove dialog for a season-long dropout. It takes the player off the schedule from here on and keeps the matches they already played.
On the Players tab, tap the pencil next to the player.
Tap Delete. The Remove dialog opens with the player's name.
In a league, check which play dates they come off. It defaults to the rest of the season.
Enter a Reason (required).
If they paid with account credit, choose whether to return it.
Tap Remove.
What happens next depends on whether they have played:
Already played: they are withdrawn. Their results stay, they show as WITHDRAWN, and they are left out of every future generation. Matches already drawn for them still list them, so forfeit those, put in a substitute, or regenerate the round.
Not played yet: they are removed outright. Matches already drawn for them now have an empty spot, so put in a substitute or regenerate the round.
To bring a withdrawn player back, open their pencil and tap Reinstate.
Only missing a few weeks? Opt them out of those dates instead of removing them, so they stay in the league. See League opt-in.
Edit groups
On the Matches tab, tap Admin > Edit Player Groups.
Drag players between groups. Tap Add Group for a new group.
Drag a player into the bottom section to leave them out (see below).
Tap Save & Generate (or Looks Good if nothing changed).
The bottom section depends on how the Matches tab is organized:
By Date view: the section is Not playing plus the date. A player dropped there sits out that date only. They keep their group and play every other date.
By Round view: the section is Excluded. Excluded players are left out when you regenerate.
In By Date view, the date on screen is the date you edit and regenerate. Check it before you open the editor.
Apply the change: Remove Players or regenerate
Group changes do not rewrite existing matches until you pick how to apply them after saving.
If every change was leaving players out and matches exist, the Regenerate Matches dialog opens:
Remove Players drops them from all future rounds (in a league, the remaining matches on that date). Played games are kept. It does not fill the gaps or rebalance the rounds, so expect byes. Confirm with Remove.
From a round keeps earlier rounds and rebuilds from the round you pick. The default is the round after your last scored round.
All rounds replaces every round. It only works before any match has a score; once one does, clear those scores first or choose From a round.
You can also tick the court restriction (labelled with your court count, such as Restrict to 4 Courts) to cap each round at your court count (extra players get a bye) and, outside leagues, Set a date (optional) for the regenerated rounds.
For any other change, such as moving players between groups or adding a walk-in, the Edit Rounds dialog opens. Choose Regenerate Rounds and a Regenerate from round, or Add More Rounds to add rounds without changing existing matches.
Regenerating from a later round keeps the scores in earlier rounds. It recalculates partners so the new roster still gets fresh pairings, and rebalances byes. You can regenerate as often as you like before scores are entered.
Check the result with Matchup Stats
After regenerating, tap Admin > Matchup Stats to see how many matchups repeat. It can suggest swaps. Applying one swaps the two players in that round without regenerating.
