Round Robin (Set Partners)

Getting started with Round Robin (Set Partners)

Run a Standard Round Robin (Set Partners) event in this order: create the event, add teams as fixed pairs, set up courts, generate the schedule, score matches, then optionally finish with a playoff on the KNOCKOUT tab. Partners stay together all event and standings rank teams.

Event lifecycle

  1. Create the event with the format Standard Round Robin (Set Partners), Doubles or Singles. See Create a Round Robin (Set Partners) event.

  2. Add teams. Import a spreadsheet with both partners per row, set partners with the pencil icon on the Players tab, or sync from CourtReserve.

  3. Set up courts if rounds should fit your court count. See Configure courts for Round Robin (Set Partners).

  4. Generate the schedule: pools, how many times teams meet, and whether teams can play across pools. See Generate matches for Round Robin (Set Partners).

  5. Date and label rounds, or switch between By Round and By Date. See Manage rounds and dates in Round Robin (Set Partners).

  6. Score matches yourself or let teams report. See Score Round Robin (Set Partners) matches.

  7. Handle changes: move teams between pools, remove a team, or rebuild the remaining rounds. See Edit groups and regenerate in Round Robin (Set Partners).

  8. Run a playoff (optional): on the KNOCKOUT tab, use Generate Bracket to seed a single-elimination bracket from the standings.

Good to know before you start

  • Singles works here. Unlike the rotating partner formats, this one supports singles and doubles divisions.

  • Unpaired players sit out. In a doubles division, a player without a partner is left out when you generate, not paired with someone. Set every partner first.

  • Restricting rounds to your courts is off by default. The checkbox reads Restrict to 8 Courts (with your own court count). Left off, matches wait for a free court rather than teams sitting out.

  • Pools are self-contained by default. Tick Allow cross-pool play to let teams face opponents from other pools while still being ranked in their own.

  • Byes come from odd team counts. A pool with an odd number of teams has one team sitting each round.
