• The initial rating is 25.0 (8.33), where 25.0 is the average rating (µ) and 8.33 is the standard deviation (σ). 25.0 indicates strength, while 8.33 represents the amount of variability.
• A rating is a relative measure of a player's likelihood of winning within a particular group.
• In general, a higher rating indicates a stronger player.
• If we assume that the degree of variation follows a normal distribution, we can estimate the degree of accuracy as shown in the graph. This is an illustration of the initial values, so the variability is very large.
• Initially, it fluctuates greatly, and with each game, μ rapidly approaches its true value. The amount of fluctuation is not constant. For example, beating an opponent with a relatively high rating will result in a larger increase.

The following practical example illustrates how ratings can differ.

• Panda and Tiger both won one game and lost one game, but there is a difference in rating between Panda at 24.9 and Tiger at 25.1. Panda won the first round against a pair with a rating of 25.0+25.0=50.0 and lost the second round against a pair with a rating of 28.1+21.9=50.0. Tiger lost in the first round to a pair with 25.0+25.0=50.0 and won against a pair with 25.0+28.1=53.1.
• The value of a loss is the same, but in the case of a win, the opponent's rating is higher for Tiger. This is one of the reasons why Tiger's rating is valued higher. However, in the case of doubles, it is not so simple because the partner's rating is also affected and the contribution to the win or loss is distributed. In this example, the second round was 25.0 + 28.1 = 53.1 vs. 28.1 + 21.9 = 50.0, but the lower-rated Frog and Tiger team won, so their ratings increased.

• Before the draw, Player D is running late, so set their status to Absence.
• Run the draw for Round 1. With Player D absent, the other four players all play.

• Player D is still late for Round 2, so their Absence status remains unless you change it.
• Player D arrives before Round 3. Set their status to Participate and run the draw.
• There are five players for Round 3, so Player B happens to be left out and takes a break.

• Player C asks to take a break in Round 4, so set their status to Break.
• Player C is guaranteed to take a break in the Round 4 draw.
• Player C's Break status is cleared automatically after the Round 4 draw.

1. First, the players who will play are selected. Candidates are registered players who are not on Break or Absence status.
2. Players with a lower past selection rate are favored, while those with a higher past selection rate are given lower priority. The main goal is to equalize everyone's chances of being selected.
3. To discourage long breaks, players with more consecutive breaks are given a slight advantage, while those with more consecutive appearances are given a slight disadvantage.
4. Players with fewer appearances are given a slight advantage.
5. Players are selected in order of priority. Players with the same priority are selected at random. If partners are fixed, the pair's average value is used in the draw.
6. Next, the players are paired. Fixed pairs remain together; the system generates multiple random pairing options for everyone else. It counts how often players have partnered before and favors arrangements that give more players a chance to partner with someone new or with someone they have partnered with less often.
7. If “Balance the rating” is enabled, the game tries to pair opponents based on their ratings so that the expected win probabilities are not too uneven. If it is disabled, the system tries to avoid repeatedly matching the same opponents.

• A player with Absence status is always treated as not selected. For fairness, however, their selection history is adjusted as though they had been selected or not selected according to the average selection probability of the other participants. This prevents an absence from creating an advantage or disadvantage. Since the player has no consecutive appearances and fewer total appearances, they will often be selected soon after returning.
  This software considers equal chances of being selected while participating in the draw to be fair. If you consider an equal number of appearances to be fair instead, set the player to Break for each draw so each missed draw is counted.
• As an exception, when the number of playable members is N and the number of players who need a break is within the range of N ± 1/3 (rounded down), N/3 players (rounded up) are shuffled by swapping players between the playing and resting groups. This prevents the same person from alternating between playing and resting instead of taking consecutive breaks.
• Constraints such as gender-based “Mixed” or “Balanced” pairings, participant statuses set to “must play,” players who rested or finished in the previous round in a “one court at a time” draw, and exclusive pairs take precedence over priority selection.

1. On the old device, select “Save to cloud” on the Backup screen.
2. On the new device, log in with the same account and select “Load from cloud” on the Backup screen.
3. The data on the Player, Match, and Register screens will be transferred to the new device.

1. Enable and configure group competition in Combination Settings.
   
2. Assign each player to one of the two competing groups. Each group must have enough players to fill its side of the court; two pairs require at least four players.
   
3. Tap the draw button to generate the match table.
   

• This application can be installed on Fire OS from the Google Play Store. (Please check the installation procedure yourself.) However, the following functional differences apply.
  • On Fire OS, player devices cannot receive automatic update notifications from the host. (Manual synchronization using the toolbar icon is required.)
  • The browser-based Web Share page cannot update automatically when notified by the host. (Tap the display button to refresh manually.)
  • If the host is on Fire OS, it cannot receive match results submitted from player devices.
  • The text-to-speech feature may not work by default. Installing Google's Speech Recognition & Synthesis app may enable it.
• The app cannot be installed on iOS, but the browser-based Web Share page is available. However, iOS only allows native apps to receive message notifications, resulting in the following functional difference.
  • On iOS, the Web Share page cannot update automatically when notified by the host. (Tap the display button to refresh manually.)
• Even on some Android-like systems, incompatibilities or communication restrictions may occur.
  • The notification system relies on Firebase Cloud Messaging. Other services, such as Amazon Device Messaging (Fire OS), Apple Push Notification Service (iOS), and Huawei Mobile Services, are not compatible, so notifications will not work on those platforms.
  • Some features may be restricted on devices without Google Play Services or in regions where Google services are blocked.
