How sit-outs stay fair
With 10 players and 2 court(s), 2 player(s) rest each round. The rotation spreads the rest evenly, so nobody sits twice before everyone has sat once. You can award compensation points (the round average, or a fixed amount) so resting never wrecks a ranking.
How long will it take?
A round to 21 points takes about 13 minutes: roughly nine minutes of play plus scoring and the changeover. Pick the points per round to fit your court booking:
- 16 points per round → 12 rounds in about 2 h 09 min
- 21 points per round → 12 rounds in about 2 h 34 min
- 24 points per round → 12 rounds in about 2 h 49 min
- 32 points per round → 12 rounds in about 3 h 29 min
Frequently asked
How many courts do I need for 10 players?
One court per four players: 2 court(s) for 10. With fewer courts than that, extra players rest each round and the rotation still stays fair.
How many rounds should we play?
12 rounds gives everyone a full mix of partners. Playing fewer works fine, the schedule stays fair whenever you stop, and you can always add rounds on the day.
What if someone arrives late or leaves early?
On paper, that breaks the whole plan. In the Rallyano app you can add, remove or replace a player mid-tournament and the remaining rounds are rebuilt fairly around the change.
