Getting started with team events

Getting started with team events

A team event pits clubs, squads, or friend groups against each other. Each meeting between two teams is a matchup, and every matchup is decided across several lines played at the same time — for example three doubles lines and a Dreambreaker.

If you have run an MLP-style event, this is the same shape.

New to the format? Read these two first:

• How Team Events work — teams, matchups, lines, and how a winner is decided

• MLP vs. Custom Team Event — whether to use the MLP preset or build your own line structure

Set up your event

Work through these in order when building a new team event:

1. Team creation and captain settings — who creates teams and how players join

2. Free agent settings — how unattached players get placed onto teams

3. Captain permissions in team events — what captains can do on their own

4. Configure team lineups — the lines each matchup is played over

5. Configure team scoring — how lines add up to a matchup win, and how ties break

Run the event

• Generate team matches — build the round-robin schedule

• Manage rounds and courts for team events — court assignments and round timing

• Add line names for a round — label lines so players know what they are playing

• Edit team lineups by round — change who plays which line in a specific round

• Hide or show lineups for team events — control when lineups become visible

• Score team matches — enter results line by line

• Edit team matchups — fix a matchup after the schedule exists

Finish with a bracket

Many team events end in a knockout stage after the round robin:
