Questions
How long does an 8 player round robin take?
About 7 games. At 15 to 20 minutes a game that is roughly 2 to 2.5 hours. Set minutes per game above to see start times for each round.
What if only 7 players show up?
Delete one name. With 7 players on 2 courts only one game fits (4 players), so 3 sit each round.
What does the share link contain?
Everything on the schedule: the event name, names of teams or players, dates, times and every round. It sits in the part of the link after the # sign, which browsers never send to a server, so we never see it. Anyone with the link sees the same schedule, even if they have their own saved settings.
