I invite you to participate in testing the principle of operation of the Doubles Rotation Tournament. This is only a virtual tournament without actual play on the tennis court.

The organizer of tournament no. 1 (My first Doubles Rotation Tournament) is Onno Van der Linden & Andrey Rublev.

Statistical data cannot be displayed without using a filter.

Rules for the Doubles Rotation Tournament can be found on a separate page.

View the help video in an external window.

This standalone page will guide you through the entire tournament in all of the following consecutive stages:

1. Create a new tournament
   • The creator of the tournament becomes its organizer. Only the organizer has the right to close the registration and the tournament.
   • Individual players sign up (or withdraw) in the list of available tournaments separately.
   • Click on the tournament name to view its details.
2. Editing tournament parameters
   • You have the option to choose whether player names will be displayed in a shortened form to avoid disclosing sensitive information.
   • The Minimum Playing Players parameter determines the minimum number of players required to proceed to the next match. A higher number provides more variability but may also slow down the progress of the tournament.
   • The website administrator can add an invitation to the tournament, which will be displayed through a newly created post.
   • The tournament organizer can grant organizer rights to another player.
3. Adding players and adding them to a special group
   • Adding players from the database can be restricted to the website administrator.
   • Adding to a special group will colorfully alert the player to the pre-agreed method of handling the special group. This can only be done by the match organizer.
   • In the tournament settings, you can enable the possibility to track the payment of the entry fee.
   • Players can withdraw from the tournament on their own, or the match organizer can remove them from the match.
4. The closing of player registration
   • Only the tournament organizer can close the player registration.
5. Match scheduling and result entry
   • Once the player registration is closed, the scheduling of the first matches will be displayed.
   • The serving starts with the player at position R1.
   • The number of matches scheduled depends on the chosen number of courts and the number of players.
   • Only players participating in the match and the tournament organizer can enter match results.
   • The option to hide a match is used only when, for example, one of the players is currently unavailable. This leads to the scheduling of another match, and this hidden match is not counted in the tournament results.
   • Each of the players can suspend their participation in the tournament. After that, the player will not be assigned to matches. Suspension of participation in the tournament can also be done by the administrator.
   • In the list of played matches, the organizer can make corrections in case of incorrectly entered results.
   • In the table of registered players, the players with the best results are displayed at the top.
6. Closing the tournament and announcing the winner.
   • Only the tournament organizer has the right to close the tournament. After closing, it is no longer possible to enter results or make edits.
   • After the tournament is closed, the winner of the tournament with the best ratio of games won to losses will be highlighted in color in the table of registered players.
7. Presentation of the interim results of the tournament.
   • You can start a presentation of the tournament on your computer screen, giving everyone the opportunity to easily get an overview of the progress of the tournament. Turn on full screen mode (F11) in the browser.
