Frequently asked questions
How long does a 10-player round robin take?
9 rounds of 15 minutes is about 2 hours 15 minutes, plus changeovers between rounds.
Can 10 players play on 3 courts?
Not all at once: 3 courts need 12 players. With 10, use 2 courts and rotate the sit-outs, or play one court as singles if two of your group want it. Singles games are outside the printed chart.
