The default
The app suggests log₂ of the number of players, rounded up, with a minimum of 2. You can change it on the setup screen.
| Players | Suggested rounds |
|---|---|
| Up to 4 | 2 |
| 5–8 | 3 |
| 9–16 | 4 |
| 17–32 | 5 |
| 33–64 | 6 |
How each round is paired
- Players are paired by the current standings with someone they haven't played yet.
- If everyone has already met, the app allows a rematch rather than leave someone out.
- With an odd number, the player who has had the fewest byes gets the bye, and it counts as a win.
- In doubles, each group of four is re-teamed from the standings to vary partners and opponents.
- Courts are ordered by strength, so the top matches are on Court 1.
Points and ranking
A win is worth 1 and a draw ½ (a draw happens when you track scores and they're level). The table ranks by points, then point difference. Players who are still level share a rank. There are no Buchholz or Sonneborn-Berger tie-breaks.
FAQ
Can I add more rounds for a clearer winner?
Yes. More rounds give a more accurate result. Set the number on the setup screen before you start.
