What is a court allocation app?

How should I use it for 10, 12, or 15 players?

Here are recommended setups by group size: [10 players] 2-3 courts work well for everyone to play regularly. [12 players] 3 courts with 2-3 players waiting creates smooth rotation. [15 players] 3-4 courts recommended. Use Equal Rotation mode to distribute wait times fairly.

Tips for mixing beginners and experienced players?

Use "Skill-Based Mode" to group players by beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels for matching. If you want to prioritize socializing, "Social Mix Mode" is recommended. Playing with different skill levels also helps beginners improve.

Can it replace random number charts for badminton doubles?

Yes, it's the perfect replacement for traditional random charts. Unlike paper charts, it automatically considers fairness like "avoid pairing with the same person consecutively" and "equalize wait times". Use it anytime on your smartphone - no need to carry paper charts.

What are the benefits for clubs and teams?

Benefit 1: Reduces organizer burden by automating pair selection and rotation management. Benefit 2: Ensures fairness - eliminates complaints like "that person plays too much".
