Round robin & ladder nights

Sign in, tap Dashboard, and pick Round Robin or Ladder.

• What are we playing? Singles (each player is a seat), Doubles with fixed partners (each team is a seat), or Doubles with rotating partners (each player is a seat; partners shuffle every round).
• How many players? Just the number — names come next.
• Courts and Play to have sensible defaults.
• Club / group — leave it on standalone, or attach the night to a club so it counts on that club's leaderboard.

Tap Create & add players.

The event runs on seat numbers, so you can fill names in any order and fix a spelling any time — even after play starts. The small rate box is optional (3.5, 4.0 …); a ladder uses it to seed the start.

Import from Excel fills the seats from a spreadsheet, one name per row; tick “Skip first row” if the sheet has a heading. There's a sample file to download.

Turn on join code and share the code or link: players add themselves from their phones and take the next open seat. Names you pre-typed get matched up; a drop-out keeps their seat for a replacement.

Change How many players? and tap Update roster — any time before the first score. Odd counts work: one seat sits out each round, rotating.

Check Courts, optionally set Rounds (blank = everyone plays everyone once; more repeats pairings evenly), and tap Generate & start.

Every round, every court, every pairing. Round tabs move you between rounds; the court cards at the top of a round are what you read out.

Type both scores and tap Save. Saved scores show Update and undo for fixes. Someone has to leave? person_remove on their seat withdraws them — remaining matches become byes and the rest of the night stands.

Updated after every save: wins, losses, games played, point differential. Nothing to close at the end — when the last score is in, that's the result. Event details (top of the page) has a share link to the public results page for the group chat.

Ladder on the Dashboard. Singles (two per court), Doubles with fixed partners (two teams per court, you climb together), or Rotating partners (courts of four, three games a round, top player climbs, bottom drops). Courts are set from the headcount. Tap Create & add players and fill the seats as above.

Seats 1 and 2 take the top court, 3 and 4 the next, and so on — so put your strongest players in the lowest seat numbers. Typed rates in? Sort seats by rating does it for you. Then Start ladder. The roster locks once it starts; an odd count rotates one standby per round.

Each court shows its match and what's at stake: on the King's Court the winner holds and the loser drops; everywhere else the winner moves up a court and the loser down. Type the scores, Save each court, and when the round is complete tap Advance to round 2 — the next round's courts are set from the results.

The ladder's standings are simply who's on which court right now — top court wins. Keep advancing rounds until you're out of time; whoever holds the King's Court at the end is the night's winner.
