Formats

Every way to play — what's ready today, what's coming, and how to pick the right one for your group.

How to choose

  1. How many players and courts do you have? Doubles seats 4 per court, singles 2 — so 12 players fill 3 doubles courts. A Round Robin takes players (or pairs) minus one rounds. Plan your session → Coming soon Tell us your numbers and we'll suggest a format.
  2. What kind of event is it?
  3. One event, or a Series?
  4. Singles or doubles? Then pick your format.
