Schedule Settings

• Schedule Matches by... Opponents Courts Opponents - Schedule each match with specific opponents. With this, you can auto generate a schedule that will create as many unique matches as possible.
  Courts - Simply assign players to a specific court, and we will create a mini round robin on that court. Use this for rotating opponents and partners (doubles).
  
• Schedule Required Yes No Require a scheduled match in order for players to submit a score.
• One Round Per Day No Yes Only schedule players in one round per day.

Opponent Rules

• Opponent Limits No Limit 0 (none above) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Players may only play an opponent within this many ranks above them. Set this to 'No Limit' to not use this option. No Limit 0 (none below) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Players may only play an opponent within this many ranks below them. Set this to 'No Limit' to not use this option.
• Unique Matches No Limit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Max This option keeps your players from playing the same opponents over and over. A player will not be able to play another player if they have played them within this number of past matches. For example, if your last 2 matches were against Bob then John, and this number was set to 2, then you would not be able to play either player, since they were played within the last 2 matches. Use "Max" if you want a round robin format. This insures everyone plays everyone.
• Same Opponent No Limit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 This option limits the amount of times a player can play another player. For example, if you only want players to play once, set this to "1".
• Wildcards 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Wildcards can be used by a team to play any other team regardless of the rules you set. This allows a team the chance to play a team much higher ranked than the rules typically allow.

Step-By-Step Ladder Setup

This tool will help you set up the most important aspects of your ladder.

Afterwards, you can update the changes that were made, or update any other additional settings this tool doesn't cover.

What Gender?

Select the gender the players of your ladder must be?

Singles or doubles?

Will players be playing singles or doubles matches?

Rotating partners?

Do your doubles players rotate partners?

If you select "yes", this will rank your players individually, instead of 2 player teams.

Keep in mind, if you do want 2 player teams, a player can be on more than one team. Select "no" to use teams.

Challenge ladder?

Will your players challenge each other to a match?

Organized matches?

Will matches be played on specific dates?

Select "Yes" if you will determine when and where matches will be played.

Example: round robins, weekly play, scheduled matches

How will matches be scheduled?

Team vs Team:
You will specify exactly which teams play which teams at specific dates & times.

By Court:
You will assign players to a court, and they will rotate opponents and partners (doubles). This creates a mini round robin per court.

Players submit scores?

Do you want your players to submit their own match scores?

All Finished

You can now finish setting up your ladder.
