You want matches to become more evenly balanced as the event develops.

Who can play?

At least 4 players. Available disciplines: doubles. Setup checks additional roster and court constraints before starting.

How it works

  • Order the initial roster and confirm the opening block.
  • Enter results on every court. Next-block pairings depend on the current standings.
  • Partners or opponents can repeat: close competition matters more than meeting everyone exactly once.

A practical example

Twelve players and three courts: after the opening scores are confirmed, players are regrouped using the new standings. The whole evening cannot be fixed in advance because future scores are unknown.

Scoring and time

The match score and tournament points are different. Check the selected scoring profile and ranking rules before starting. Where match points are used, 3/2/1 means win/draw/loss; 2/1/0 works the same way with different values. Knockout qualification still requires a winner.

Before you start

Correcting an earlier score can change later pairings. If those games have already been played, use the reviewed reset flow.

Confirm the venue, actual courts, names, score rules and schedule. Share the player link or QR; keep organiser access private.
