Generate matches for Rotating Partner Round Robin

Generate Rotating Partner Round Robin matches from the Matches tab: open Admin, choose Generate Matches, set the rounds and groups, tap Generate, then review the groups and tap Looks Good. We assign new partners automatically every round.

This applies to Round Robin (Rotating Partners), Mixed Gender Rotating Partners and Round Robin with Pros, where players enter as individuals. For how the format works, see How Rotating Partner Round Robin works.

Generate matches

Add your players to the division first. In a league, see Generate matches by play date in a Rotating Partner Round Robin league for the play-date choice.

1. Open the Matches tab and tap Admin.

2. Select Generate Matches.

3. Enter Rounds (up to 50).

4. Enter Groups. 1 keeps everyone together. Each group needs at least 4 players to get matches: the app lets you go as low as 2 per group, but a group under 4 gets no games.

5. Optionally tick Restrict to 2 Courts (the number matches your court count). Outside leagues you can also set a Round Date.

6. Tap Generate.

7. The group editor opens. Tap Looks Good to keep the schedule, or move players between groups (or into Excluded) and tap Save & Generate to rebuild it.

Groups contain individual players, not fixed teams. You can rebalance later from Edit player groups and regenerate in Rotating Partner Round Robin.

Choosing the number of groups

Everyone in a group plays and partners only within that group. Players never cross between groups in this format.

One group puts everyone in the same pool. The schedule cycles through fresh partnerships before repeating any, but a large field will not get through everyone unless you run many rounds.

Multiple groups split the field into smaller pools, so players meet most of their pool in the same number of rounds. Use them to seed by ability, keep a social pool separate from a competitive one, or divide by court area.

Each match seats four players, so group sizes that divide by 4 produce no byes. Players left over sit out that round.

Restrict courts

The Restrict to 2 Courts option (numbered to match your courts) appears once courts are configured, and it is off by default. With it off, we schedule every match in the round and extra matches wait for a court.

Turn it on to cap each round at your court count. With 12 players and 2 courts, we schedule 2 matches and the remaining players get a bye. Set up courts in Configure courts for Rotating Partner Round Robin.

Change the schedule after generating

To add rounds or rebuild some of them, use Add/Regenerate Rounds in the Admin menu. In a league, use Regenerate This Date or Add Rounds to This Date. Rounds that already have scores can't be regenerated, so completed results stay. See Manage rounds and play dates in Rotating Partner Round Robin.

To delete one round's matches and scores, use Clear Round. Clearing cannot be undone.
