Generate rounds in Reign of the Court
In Reign of the Court you generate twice: first the round robin on the MATCHES tab, then the TOP and BOTTOM brackets from the TOP or BOTTOM tab once the round robin is played. Both start from the Admin Menu on that tab. You need at least 2 players (or 2 teams for Reign of the Court (Set Partners)) to generate.
Generate the round robin: rotating partners
Open the event and go to the MATCHES tab.
Open the Admin Menu and choose Generate Matches.
Enter the Number of Rounds, up to 50.
Enter the Number of Groups. Use 1 to have everyone play together; with more groups, players only play people in their own group. Each group needs at least 2 players.
If you've set up courts, tick Restrict to (it shows your number of courts) to play only that many games per round. The remaining players get a bye.
Click Generate.
Byes rotate across players, and we avoid giving anyone two byes in a row.
Generate the round robin: Set Partners
On the MATCHES tab, open the Admin Menu and choose Generate Matches.
Enter the Number of Pools, and choose Random or Choose Pools for how teams are placed.
Under Match Format, choose Play each opponent once, Play each opponent twice, or Set a fixed number of rounds when time is tight.
If you've set up courts, you can tick Restrict to to play only as many games per round as you have courts.
Click Generate.
Add or regenerate rounds
In the rotating partners version, open the Admin Menu on the MATCHES tab and choose Add/Regenerate Rounds:
Add More Rounds adds rounds after the last one without changing existing games.
Regenerate Rounds deletes the rounds from the round you pick onward and draws them again. Earlier rounds are kept. Regenerating from round 1 deletes every game, including completed ones.
Generate Matches disappears from this menu once any game is completed, so use Add/Regenerate Rounds from then on.
Generate the TOP and BOTTOM brackets: rotating partners
Score the round robin first: players are ranked for the brackets by win percentage, then point differential.
Go to the TOP or BOTTOM tab, open the Admin Menu and choose Generate Bracket.
Choose the number of TOP Bracket Players and BOTTOM Bracket Players: 4, 6 or 8.
Click Generate Brackets.
Choose the same number for TOP and BOTTOM, and make sure you have at least twice that many active players, for example 16 for 8 and 8. With fewer players, generating the brackets fails. Players ranked below both brackets don't play in either.
Generate the TOP and BOTTOM brackets: Set Partners
Go to the TOP or BOTTOM tab, open the Admin Menu and choose Generate Bracket.
Under Send teams to TOP by, choose Top teams from each pool or Total number of teams, and set how many.
Leave Send every other team to BOTTOM on, or turn it off and choose how many teams go to BOTTOM.
With more than one pool, choose Seeding: Spread pools apart or Overall standings.
Check the TOP and BOTTOM team counts, then click Generate Brackets.
Each bracket needs at least 2 teams. If some pool games aren't scored yet, we warn you first, because seeding uses the current standings; click Generate Anyway to continue.
Regenerate the brackets
Run Generate Bracket again to replace the brackets. If any bracket game already has a result, confirm with DELETE & REGENERATE BRACKET. The old bracket games are deleted.
