Generate matches for Round Robin (Set Partners)
Generate the Standard Round Robin (Set Partners) schedule from the Matches tab: tap Admin, choose Generate Matches, fill in the dialog, then tap Continue. Teams keep their partner throughout, so the schedule pairs teams against teams.
In a doubles division, a player without a partner is left out of the schedule, not paired with someone. Set every partner on the Players tab before you generate.
Generate matches in a tournament or single-day event
You need at least two complete teams.
Open the Matches tab and tap Admin.
Select Generate Matches.
In Configure Event, set the options below. (Allow cross-pool play is only in the league Configure League dialog.)
Tap Continue.
If the division already has matches, we ask you to confirm with Replace. Replacing deletes the current matches, court assignments, round dates and any scores. To keep played rounds, regenerate from a round instead (see Edit groups and regenerate in Round Robin (Set Partners)).
Generate matches in a league
A league's Matches tab shows one play date at a time (the By Date view).
Open the Matches tab and tap Admin.
Select Generate Matches.
Pick the date on screen (Generate for this play date only) or All Play Dates. Once any match has a score, you go straight to the date on screen.
Enter the Number of Rounds (for all dates, Rounds per Play Date) and the Number of Pools. Tick Restrict to N Courts if you want to cap each round at your court count.
Tap Generate.
If you switch the league to the By Round view, Generate Matches opens the Configure League dialog described below instead.
Configure League options
Number of Pools
Shown when you have at least four teams. Split teams into separate pools, for example 12 teams as two pools of six. Enter 1 to keep everyone in one pool. Smaller pools finish their round robin in fewer rounds.
Random or Choose Pools
Shown when you have more than one pool.
Random: teams are assigned to pools automatically.
Choose Pools: matches are generated with random pools, then the group editor opens so you can move teams between pools. Saving your changes rebuilds the matches.
Match Format
Play each opponent once (Single Round Robin)
Play each opponent twice (Double Round Robin)
Set a fixed number of rounds (Custom Rounds)
A full single round robin takes one round fewer than the number of teams: 8 teams take 7 rounds. With an odd number of teams it takes as many rounds as there are teams, because one team sits out each round.
Allow cross-pool play
League only (the Configure League dialog). Off by default. Tick it to let every team play every other team in the division, whatever their pool. Pools still organize the event and the seeding.
Restrict to N Courts
Shown once courts are configured, off by default. Tick it to allow only as many matches per round as you have courts; the remaining teams get a bye for that round.
Byes
A team gets a bye when its pool has an odd number of teams (one team sits each round) or when Restrict to N Courts caps the round. A bye is not a loss; the team has played one fewer match.
After the round robin
Standard Round Robin (Set Partners) also has a KNOCKOUT tab next to MATCHES and STANDINGS. When pool play is done, open it and use Generate Bracket to seed a playoff from the standings. See How Round Robin (Set Partners) works.
