0 partner repeats and 1 opponent repeats across 12 rounds. Highlighted rows are even stops — everyone has played the same number of games.
How the math works
Players per round
1 court × 4 players = 4 on court each round, so 20 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 6 rounds (1 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. 6 rounds ≈ 1h 24m; 12 rounds ≈ 2h 48m. Side-out scoring adds about 30%.
