0 partner repeats and 11 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

6 courts × 4 players = 24 on court each round, so 7 sit out. Sit-outs rotate so nobody sits twice before everyone has sat once.

Even stops

31 players on 6 courts never line up perfectly, so games per player differ by at most one.

Time estimate

Rally scoring to 11 takes about 12 minutes plus 2 minutes to rotate. 12 rounds ≈ 2h 48m. Side-out scoring adds about 30%.
