Frequently asked questions
How many rounds do 5 players need?
The generator suggests one round fewer than the number of players, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 7. For 5 players, that is 4 rounds. You can choose a different number of rounds in the generator on this page.
How long does a 5-player Americano take?
With 20-minute matches and no breaks, the 4 rounds take 1 hr 20 min. If you start at 09:00, play ends at about 10:20. Add time for warm-up, breaks and score entry.
What if one player does not come?
Use the 4-player schedule instead. With 4 players, all courts are full and nobody rests.
How many points per match?
This schedule uses 32 combined rallies per match, so the two pair scores add up to 32. Use 24 rallies for shorter matches, or 16 if each match has only about 10 minutes.
