FASTER SETUP, FAIRER ROTATION
Add the players who are present, their skill levels and the number of courts. Sportnet automatically builds doubles matches, assigns courts and rotates players so the host does not have to calculate every round manually.
Wednesday evening session
12 players • 3 courts • DoublesThe host prepares the player list — Sportnet handles the pairing work
Built for social play, regular groups and teams that want sensible doubles rotation without creating a tournament.
Regular & guest players
Use members from a Team or quickly add guest players who are joining only this session.
Skill levels 1–5
Give the system a simple skill signal to help balance the two sides.
Number of active courts
Enter how many courts are actually available so simultaneous matches can be arranged properly.
Automatic pairing
Sportnet proposes teams, opponents and courts for the next rotation instead of making the host do it manually.
It does more than find four available players — it looks at the whole session
The matching logic favors a sensible overall rotation rather than optimizing one isolated match that happens to look balanced.
Even match opportunities
Tries to keep participation relatively balanced across players throughout the session.
Skill balance
Reduces the gap between the two sides using the skill levels entered by the host.
Less repetition
Rotates partners and opponents so the same small group does not keep playing together.
Arrange several courts at once without duplicating players
When several courts are available, Sportnet considers the whole rotation together instead of generating each court independently.
Add players mid-session without breaking the rotation
The host can add a player after the session has started. Fairness is measured from the time that player actually joins instead of aggressively compensating for every match they missed earlier.
Add late arrivals
No need to recreate the entire session when another player joins.
Count from participation time
Late arrivals are not over-prioritized just to catch up with players who were there from the beginning.
Keep optimizing next rotations
Future rounds still consider fairness, skill and previous partner/opponent history for the remaining session.
Automatic when useful, manual when real life requires it
An algorithm cannot know every real-world detail: someone may need a rest, two players may want to try a partnership, a court may pause, or the host may simply want a different matchup.
State changes are controlled to reduce the risk of two tabs or concurrent actions assigning the same player to two matches.

A few common questions
Spend less time dividing players — spend more time playing
Add the players who are present, their levels and the number of courts. Let Sportnet propose fairer doubles rotations, then let the host make any real-world adjustments that are needed.
