Club Match

How it works

Two named clubs each field teams of the same size (2 or 3 players). Every team match (tie) is drawn across clubs — never two teams from the same club. Choose a Schedule:

• Full cross — every team in Club 1 plays every team in Club 2 (m × n ties total).
• Paired — Team 1 of each club plays Team 1 of the other, Team 2 plays Team 2, and so on (one tie per team pair; requires equal team counts in both clubs).

Each tie uses the same game structure as its team size: teams of 3 rotate through the same partner pattern as the 3v3 Team Event (A+B, A+C, B+C — win 2 of 3 games), teams of 2 play a single game.

Who it’s for

A dual match between two clubs or facilities, rather than open pickup play.

Players and courts

• Both clubs need at least one complete team; player count must be a multiple of the chosen team size.
• Paired schedule requires equal team counts in both clubs — it’s disabled until they match.
• No gender rules.

Settings

• Team size — 2 or 3 players per team.
• Schedule — Full cross or Paired.
• Group names and team counts for each club.
• Scoring — the win target and margin for each game; see Scoring formats. Club Match always tracks scores (Track Scores can’t be turned off), since standings depend on them.
• Courts in Quick Robin defaults to 2 like every format, and can be raised; the fallback of the smaller club’s team count only applies to an event run without a court limit.
• Start Event stays disabled until both clubs are named and every player slot has a unique, non-blank name.
