What is Fixed Teams?

The Fixed Teams format is played for a fixed number of points per match, but instead of rotating partners you play in fixed teams for the entire tournament. You can think of it as a small league, where the same team keeps competing from start to finish.

How It Works

The tournament is finished when every team has faced every other team once. In each match, points are played as usual (for example 32 points), then the result is added to the team standings.

Example

Teams are fixed throughout the tournament:

Team A

Player 1 & Player 2

Team B

Player 3 & Player 4

Match Result

17-15

Points Awarded:

Team A+17

Team B+15

After all matches are played, the team with the highest total score wins.

Tip

If you have many teams, consider reducing points per match (or playing sets) to keep the total tournament time reasonable.

Round-Robin Format

In a round-robin, every team plays against every other team exactly once. For example, with 4 teams you'll have 6 matches total:

Team A vs Team B

Team A vs Team C

Team A vs Team D

Team B vs Team C

Team B vs Team D

Team C vs Team D

Rotation Options

When creating a tournament, you can choose how many times teams face each other:

1x Play (Single)

Each team plays every other team once. Classic round-robin format.

2x Play (Double)

Each team plays every other team twice (home and away style). Great for rematches and proving consistency.

3x Play (Triple)

Each team plays every other team three times. Best for longer events where you want decisive results.
