Rotating partner, 4 players

4 players · 1 court · 6 rounds

How it runs

Rotating-partner round robin: you get a new partner every round and score for yourself, not your pair. 4 players, 6 rounds on one court, so you partner each of the other three twice. Games to 11, win by 2. The best record wins. If the organizer turns on the optional captain-pick final, the leader picks a partner for one championship game to 15. Standings are ranked by wins, then head-to-head wins among the tied players, then point differential, then point differential in games between the tied players, then point differential against the players just above, then points scored.

Shown with games to 11.

4 players has an exact schedule: everyone plays, no alternates.

Playoff: Captain-pick final

All 4 players advance (they are the whole field).

The round-robin leader (Seed 1) picks one partner from the other three; the remaining two are forced together, making 2 teams.

  • Championship: Team A (Seed 1 + pick) vs Team B (forced pair)

Finals are a single game to 15, win by 2.
