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?
