Visual Guide

This visual guide is a quick reference guide to setting up and using the different features of MatchUp Tennis & Pickleball Organizer

Social Doubles

For Social Doubles, the draw is flexible and can be adjusted for each round based on the number of available players and courts.  The 'preferred match type' can be set for each round to give a mix of games between players from different groups.  It is recommended that you generate a round or two at a time to cater for later arrivals, players wanting a rest or those that leave early.  

There are 3 social doubles formats:

• Rounds

• Up Next

• King of the Court (the number of players must be a multiiple of 4 for doubles)

Press GO to generate the matches.

Round Robin

For Round Robin Doubles, each player will partner with every other player in the group and play against every other player in the group twice (per cycle).  A group must consist of 4 - 24 players in multiples of 4.  The only exception is for groups or 5 or 9 players where each player will have one bye (per cycle).

For Round Robin Singles, Teams & Fixed Pairs, each player, team or pair will play every other player, team or pair in the group once (per cycle).  When there is only 1 group selected, there will be an option to include  elimination playoff.  At the end of the rounds, the top 2, 4 or 8 players from the leaderboard will go into the elimination playoff.  There is an option for a bronze playoff for 3rd place.

The playing order is randomly picked by default (i.e. players are shuffled).

Team Challenge

Two teams (groups) will play against each other.

For Team Challenge Doubles, each player will partner with every other player in the same team and play against every player in the other team.   Each player will play their opposite number in every round so it is important to rank the players in each team for doubles to ensure an even matchup.  If the teams are mixed, ensure that the boys and girls are ranked in the same order for both teams.  This will ensure even doubles and mixed doubles matches.

For Team Challenge Singles & Fixed Pairs, each player or pair will play against each player/pair in the other team.  For Team Challenge Fixed Pairs, you need to manually enter each pair as a player  e.g. Dianne & Caroline

Knockout (Bracket Elimination)

There is the option for a  Knockout Single Elimination  & Knockout Double Elimination.  Players can be seeded.

In the Single Elimination, there is an option for a consolation bracket.  This is for all 1st round losers to play in a separate bracket.  

The Double Elimination gives every player who loses a match in the Championship bracket the abilitity to stay in the event by playing in the Elimination bracket.  The winners of the Champtionship Bracket and the Elimination Bracket will play off for the final.  If the winner of that match came from the Elimination bracket, they will replay the final as that is the 1st lose for the other player.

For Social Doubles/Singles Rounds, there are a number of extra features available on the Matches view (Organizer Plus & Club Pack editions)

You can override a match by either swapping players around within the court or swapping players from the bench. 

If extra players arrive after you have generated the round and you have another court available, you can add a manual match into the round by tapping on the plus button in the round footer.

Up Next

Often playing Rounds is not feasible or desired, so another option is 'Up Next'.  As a court becomes available the next match can be put on. 

King of the Court

For King of the Court format, only the first round will be generated from the Draw tab.  Once the scores are entered for each round, the GO button will generate the next round based on the results of the previous rounds.  The winners will split and move up a court and the losers will split and move down a court.
