Round Robin Tournament Setup
Tournament format - singles, doubles or teams.
Cycles - rounds can be repeated (eg play everyone twice)
Venue - select from locations or type in a venue
Start Date/Time - if match scheduling is requested, the round start times will be determined from this date/time
Last Round - if match scheduling is requested, once the matches are generated, the start date/time of the last round will be displayed
Participants - from 4 to 24.
For singles and doubles tournaments, individuals are selected. For a team tournaments, teams are selected.
For singles/team format, an odd number of participants will result in each player/team having a bye
The doubles tournament format uses the Whist Cyclic algorithm where each player partners with each other player once and against each other player twice. For a doubles tournament, the number of players will normally be a multiplication of 4. However matches can also be generated for 5 and 9 players with each player having one bye.
Finals Playoff - Elimination playoff is available for Singles and Team round robin events. Choice of top 2, 4 or 8. Option for a bronze (3rd place) playoff. Players will be determined at the end of the rounds based on the leaderboard results.
Match Scheduling
Add a location for each match - these are defined under the Settings option. If the locations are not setup in the right order, you can switch off this setting and save the tournament setup. Once the locations are then updated, you can put the locations switch back on and when the tournament setup is saved again, the matches will be updated
Set location constraint if required - eg 4 courts are required to complete a round but you only have 2 courts available
Schedule match start times for each round by setting the tournament start date/time and the interval between rounds eg 1 hours, 1 week etc
Whenever the interval is edited, the match start times will be updated. Matches times can be individually updated on the Matches view
Tournament Points
Set points for win, draw, loss, points factor & results differential. All or any of the points variables can be applied
Win, loss draw points will be allocated based on the overall score
Points factor - the score for that player/team will be multiplied by the points factor
Results differential -the difference between the scores will be multiplied by the results differential and added to the points for the winner and subtracted from the points for the loser. For example, if the Results Differential value is 0.1 and the score is 21-16, the winner will get +0.5 (21-16 * 0.1) and the loser will get -0.5 (16-21 * 0.1) added to the any other points allocated
See examples below under Leaderboard..
