Frequently asked questions
How long does a 6-player round robin take?
5 rounds of 15 minutes is about 1 hour 15 minutes, plus changeovers between rounds.
Can 6 players play on 2 courts?
Not all at once: 2 courts need 8 players. With 6, use 1 court 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.
