0 partner repeats and 1 opponent repeats across 9 rounds. Highlighted rows are even stops — everyone has played the same number of games.
How the math works
Players per round
5 courts × 4 players = 20 on court each round, so 10 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 3 rounds (2 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. 3 rounds ≈ 42 min; 9 rounds ≈ 2h 06m. Side-out scoring adds about 30%.
