Rotation Tournaments

Rotation Tournaments runs club tournaments in which nobody is knocked out. In doubles, every player gets a new partner in every match and meets as many different opponents as possible. The ranking is the ratio of games won to games lost, so everybody plays until the very end.

It is made for club evenings and social tournaments in tennis, padel, badminton, table tennis, squash, beach volleyball and other sports played one against one or two against two.

How a tournament works

1. 01The organizer creates a tournament and shares the invitation link or QR code.
2. 02Players join (also later, during the tournament) and the plugin draws the first matches for the free courts.
3. 03Whoever finishes a match enters the score on the website or in the Android app; the next match is drawn at once.
4. 04Standings, statistics and the presentation on a big screen update live.
5. 05At the end the organizer closes the tournament and the best player and the best pair are announced.

The draw

• New teammates first: the plugin pairs players who have not played together yet.
• Opponents are chosen by previous meetings too, so the same players meet less often.
• Players with fewer games and longer rest go first; sides (left/right) and serve alternate.
• Works with any number of players from 4 up, odd numbers included; players can join, pause or leave at any time.
• Special group of players (e.g. women in a mixed tournament) with its own rules: mixed teams only, a separate winner and more.

For the website

• Blocks for the block editor: “Rotation tournament” (matches, results, players, statistics and settings on tabs), “Tournament standings”, “Tournament matches”, “Tournament presentation”, “Tournament list” and “Tournament invitation”. Shortcodes for the classic editor.
• Live updates without reloading the page.
• Presentation mode for a TV or projector in the club house.
• Share dialog with a QR code and a link that opens the tournament in the app.
