Tips for 7 players
- Shorter games (to 9, or timed) keep the line moving while three are sitting.
- 8 players would fill 2 courts exactly: if someone is on the fence about coming, invite them.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a 7-player round robin take?
7 rounds of 15 minutes is about 1 hour 45 minutes, plus changeovers between rounds.
Can 7 players play on 2 courts?
Not all at once: 2 courts need 8 players. With 7, 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.
