3. Running Competitions

The day-to-day work: keeping your players and clubs in order, making the draws and typing in the results. Each page follows the screens in the order you’ll meet them.

• Players, Pairs, Clubs & Courts – the records every draw is built from, what your site shows of them, and why some can’t be deleted
• Knockout Draws – seeds, byes, brackets of up to 128 lines, the 3rd place match and winners moving on
• Round Robin & Groups – fixtures for everyone-plays-everyone, split into groups or not, and players who join late
• Entering Results – the Result box, scores it refuses, and retired, walkover and default matches
• Standings – which matches count, points, the tiebreaker order and when a table is recalculated
• Team Leagues – clubs against clubs, ties of 1 to 9 rubbers and the Rubbers table
• Dashboard – what needs you, what’s left to play and the latest results
