Now you can. We’ve built fixed partner support into the tool, and it opens up a whole new way to play. You can now run structured, competitive mini-tournaments in just a couple of hours, complete with pool play and a bracket finish.
No spreadsheets, no clipboard. Just better play with the people you want to play with.

Why fixed partner round robins matter

In a typical round robin, you rotate partners every game. It’s fun, social, and works great for open play. However, as more players start taking their game more seriously, the rotating format starts to fall short. This is where fixed partner formats can help. You sign up with a teammate, compete together throughout, and get results that reflect how you play as a team.

With the fixed round robin format, you’re getting tournament-style play compressed into a few hours instead of an all-day affair. No fancy gear required: just you, your crew, and a desire to crown a champ.

Our goal is to connect players with products they trust, stories that inspire, and a brand that feels like home both on and off the court.

Players sign up as teams

Instead of joining as individuals, players now create a team at sign-up. They pick a partner, choose a team name, and register together. This means you (the organizer) don’t need to worry about pairing people up or making last-minute roster changes. Teams can even sub in a replacement if someone gets hurt or if you get no-shows.

Start with pool play

Once your teams are locked in, you can kick things off with pool play. That means dividing teams into smaller groups (usually 3-5 teams per pool) and having each team play everyone else in their group. This is the perfect way to ensure everyone gets several games, and it builds up nicely to the bracket stage.

Even better, we help you automatically balance the pools by skill level if you want. This avoids the “group of death” problem and keeps things competitive from the start.

Keep your courts moving

Once matches start rolling, timing becomes everything especially if you’re working with limited courts. That’s where the court space optimizer comes in. As soon as one game ends, the next matchup is automatically sent out. There’s no downtime, no backlogs, and no more players standing around asking what court they’re on.

After pool play, things get real. You can launch a single- or double-elimination bracket to crown your winners. You get full control over the seeding go by pool results, random draw, or good old-fashioned gut feel. You can also add a consolation bracket. This keeps more teams playing longer and gives everyone something to fight for, even if they take an early loss.
