Tips for 15 players

  • Shorter games (to 9, or timed) keep the line moving while three are sitting.
  • 16 players would fill 4 courts exactly: if someone is on the fence about coming, invite them.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a 15-player round robin take?

15 rounds of 15 minutes is about 3 hours 45 minutes, plus changeovers between rounds.

Can 15 players play on 4 courts?

Not all at once: 4 courts need 16 players. With 15, use 3 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.
