Doubles Matchmaker

Getting Started

This page gives an overview of basic usage. We recommend watching the video tutorial first. You don't need to learn every feature in advance; just refer to the relevant section when you need it.

Minimal Walkthrough

The simplest way to run games with as few app operations as possible.

Preparation (Player Screen)

Enter the number of courts and the number of players. Players are identified by serial numbers, which you can replace with names. Alternatively, you can simply assign a number to each player and use the numbers as they are. The order of the numbers does not affect the draw, so you can assign them freely.

Generating Matchups (Match Screen)

The green area shows the matchups. Announce the results of the draw to the players. To change a matchup, press and hold a player's name to swap that player with another.

Setting Player Names

This section explains how to change a player's name.

Entering Names from the Player List

  1. On the player list screen, tap the icon at the bottom right of the player's name.
  2. Select "Rename" from the menu that appears.
  3. In the Rename dialog, enter a name and tap OK.
  4. Check that the name has been changed.

In this example, "Alan" is entered as player 1. Since "Alan" was not yet registered, he was automatically assigned user ID 1001 and an initial rating of 25.0 (8.3). Here, 25.0 is the rating and 8.3 indicates its uncertainty.

To remove "Alan" from player 1, open the Rename dialog again, tap Clear, and tap OK with the name left empty. Player 1 then returns to the unassigned state.
