Run the combine

The combine gives league players who aren’t selected for that week’s team matches a game to play, and tracks their results across the season.

Note

A player is eligible for the combine if they’re on any team’s roster in the league and are not in a lineup for any fixture that week. This is computed automatically — no manual tracking needed.

Create a combine session

1. Go to the Combine tab on the league dashboard.
2. Click Create Combine.
3. Enter the Week Number and choose a Venue (host facility) — players from other facilities travel there, and it’s whose check-in dialog lists the combine players.
4. Click Create.

The session appears with DRAFT status.

Start the combine

Click Start Combine on the draft session to open the wizard:

1. Who’s here? — check off eligible players who showed up. You need at least 4 in attendance.
2. Courts and group size — set how many courts you’re using; Dink+ suggests the best fit.
3. Which courts? — enter the court numbers.
4. Review groups — players are ranked by cumulative prior-session wins into groups you can drag to reorder. Click Start Rotation 1 when it looks right.

Scoring

Click View Event on the active session to open the round and enter scores for each game.

Between rotations

• Swap Player — swap someone out between rotations (only available once a rotation is between rounds).
• Start Rotation N+1 — available once the current rotation is fully scored; reopens the wizard to set attendance and courts for the next rotation.
• Reset — wipes the bracket and re-runs the wizard, only while no scores have been entered yet.

Finalizing

Click Finalize on the active session once the week is done. Individual player stats update, and the Combine Leaderboard shows season-wide rankings (wins, losses, matches played, and sessions attended), with a Week or Overall filter.
