Frequently asked
How many courts do I need for 12 players?
One court per four players: 3 court(s) for 12. With fewer courts than that, extra players rest each round and the rotation still stays fair.
How many rounds should we play?
11 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.
