How it works

  1. Enter everyone who is playing.
  2. Each round, the generator picks partners you haven’t played with.
  3. Opponents are spread out too, so you face as many players as possible.
  4. If there are extra players, sit-outs rotate so nobody sits twice before everyone has sat once.
  5. Rank by individual win percentage, then point differential.
Four players per court, with new partners each round.
