Rotating Partners
Everyone plays with everyone
Quick Rules
- Partners rotate every match
- Everyone plays with everyone (as much as possible)
- You play a fixed amount of points per match (for example 32)
- Points from each match are added to each player's total score
What is Rotating Partners?
The Rotating Partners format is a simple and social tournament where partners are drawn for each match. The goal is that everyone gets to play with (and against) everyone during the tournament. Instead of tracking wins and losses only, each player collects points from every match, and the player with the highest total score wins.
How Scoring Works
Each match is played for a fixed number of points, for example 32 points. Every rally gives one point to the winning team. When the match is finished, each player receives the team score as personal points.
Example
Points go to each player individually:
Team A
Player 1 & Player 2
Team B
Player 3 & Player 4

What Happens Next?
In the next round, teams are reshuffled so you play with a new partner. After all rounds are completed, the player with the highest total score wins.
Rotation Options
When creating a tournament, you can choose how many times partnerships repeat:
1x Play (Single)
Everyone partners with everyone once. Shortest tournament format.
2x Play (Double)
Everyone partners with everyone twice, facing different opponents each time for maximum variety.
3x Play (Triple)
Everyone partners with everyone three times. Great for longer events with maximum play time and opponent variety.
