Scheduling & results FAQs

The session needs a valid court count, playing rules and enough attending players. Select singles or doubles, round-robin or team play, scoring/match length and the scheduling preference. Review the actual attendance first.

Balanced or random team selection assigns players to teams. Scheduling preference controls how partners/opponents are arranged within the resulting fixtures. Choosing balanced teams alone does not specify whether you prefer closer matches or more variety.

Balanced seeks a useful compromise; variety favours different combinations; competitive favours closer estimated matchups while rotating players. Available wording can vary by screen. Ratings, courts, team sizes and requested rounds constrain the outcome; review the generated warnings and fixtures rather than assuming every preference is mathematically possible.

It is designed to rotate partners rather than repeatedly use a single strongest pair. In the supported two-team doubles case, the scheduler also balances opponent exposure. Exact repetition counts depend on the number of players and rounds, so they are not a universal promise.

Available court places may be fewer than attending players, and fixture constraints can require rests. Expand Games & rests per player and review the round-by-round resting list before publishing. A printed resting list appears only when somebody actually rests.

A draft is for organisers. Members see the published schedule available to them. Review teams, rounds, courts, rests and warnings, then choose Publish schedule. An old printed copy does not update itself.

Attendance, courts or session settings changed after it was generated. Review the changes and regenerate a current draft before publishing. The system can reject publishing or modifying an outdated revision.

Yes. Review the session’s Playing rules and scoring options rather than relying only on club defaults. Supported match lengths include single game and best-of-three/best-of-five where offered; timed play uses its configured round and changeover settings.

Enter both sides’ scores. In the native single-game editor, Done or leaving the field triggers the save path; on the website, use the score form’s save behaviour and check its saved/status message. Multi-game matches have their own result controls. Wait for confirmation and resolve any validation or connection error.

No. Unrecorded fixtures do not count as played and do not change ratings. Enter both scores, including an actual zero score when appropriate. Clear both score boxes through the available controls to remove a recorded single-game result.

Those changes could invalidate recorded play, so general editing/regeneration is locked while scores exist. Clear scores only if you intend to remove those results, then edit and regenerate. The dedicated Replace player workflow is designed for supported replacement cases without rebuilding every fixture.

The app checks the schedule revision to avoid overwriting newer changes. Refresh/reopen the current schedule, review what was saved and retry only the intended change. A rejected edit is not permission to erase another organiser’s results.

A reliable connection is needed to save shared results. A value still visible in a field is not proof it reached the server. Check the save state after reconnecting before leaving the session or entering the result again.

An Owner or Admin can choose Replace player, select the absent player and choose a current member or enter a guest name. Review the preview and select the supported scope: the entire session or remaining unplayed matches.

A whole-session replacement changes the player attached to affected recorded fixtures while preserving their scores. Unplayed-only replacement leaves recorded matches alone. This can affect statistics, so use the scope that reflects who actually played.

A guest name is not a registered account. Matches involving guests are excluded from account ratings. The replacement cannot already appear in the schedule, to avoid merging players or creating clashes. Undo is offered only while the saved replacement is still safely reversible and the schedule/attendance have not changed.

No. Existing payment requests and recorded payments are not automatically reassigned or recalculated. Review the cost-sharing records separately with the players and collector.

Choose Print schedule and use the phone/browser print or PDF controls. The current print layout repeats the logo on each page, keeps ordinary rounds together and lists teams before the first round in team play. Oversized content or printer settings can affect the final page fit; inspect the preview.

They are future development topics, not features promised by the current session scheduler. Use the currently available session formats; do not assume a tournament bracket, promotion/relegation system or AI instruction box exists.
