0 partner repeats and 12 opponent repeats across 11 rounds. Highlighted rows are even stops — everyone has played the same number of games.
How the math works
Players per round
4 courts × 4 players = 16 on court each round, so 6 sit out. Sit-outs rotate so nobody sits twice before everyone has sat once.
Even stops
Everyone has played the same number of games every 11 rounds (8 games each). Stopping on an even stop keeps the standings fair.
Time estimate
Rally scoring to 11 takes about 12 minutes plus 2 minutes to rotate. 11 rounds ≈ 2h 34m; 11 rounds ≈ 2h 34m. Side-out scoring adds about 30%.
