How the math works
Players per round
7 courts × 4 players = 28 on court each round. Everyone plays every round.
Even stops
28 players on 7 courts never line up perfectly, so games per player differ by at most one.
Time estimate
Rally scoring to 11 takes about 12 minutes plus 2 minutes to rotate. 8 rounds ≈ 1h 52m. Side-out scoring adds about 30%.
