Round Robin Formats

Rotating partner Round Robin formats

Rotating partner formats are for events where players change partners each round instead of staying with one teammate for the full division.

How rotating partners works

Players register as individuals, not fixed teams. Each round, the system creates new partner pairings automatically. You do not need to assign partners by hand.

How it differs from standard Round Robin

  • Registration: players enter as individuals.

  • Groups: groups contain players, not teams.

  • Partner assignment: partners change each round.

  • Group editing: you move individual players between groups.

If you need to rebalance groups, see Editing groups in Round Robin. To create the schedule, see Generating matches in Round Robin.

Mixed Gender Rotating Partners

Mixed Gender Rotating Partners follows the same workflow, but each partnership is built as one male player and one female player. Players must have the correct gender in their profile for mixed pairings to work as expected.

Substitutions in rotating partner events

Substitutions are handled at the player level because players do not have fixed partners.

  1. Tap a match card.

  2. Use the substitute option.

  3. Select the replacement player.

The substitute applies to that match only. For the full format list, see Round Robin formats overview and scoring rules in Scoring matches in Round Robin.
