  • It is also possible to start and participate in a tournament without logging in.
  • Select the tournament type, number of courts and create a lobby by clicking "Add players".
  • Points determines the number of points played in each round for Americano (e.g. 32 points).
  • Bonus is extra points awarded to the winning pair of a match in addition to their collected points (e.g., 3 bonus points for a win). This gives a victory greater weight and reduces the likelihood of tied points in the final results.

  • The organizer can also manually enter some or all of the players.

3. Lobby and Player Management

  • If needed, the player order can be changed using drag-and-drop, or players can be removed from the list.

  • A minimum of 4 players is required to start the tournament.

4. Tournament Flow and Scoring
