12 players / 3 courts / full court use

Twelve players moving.
Three courts stay full.

Keep every player active for six rounds, rotate partners, and print a schedule that makes the remaining opponent repeats explicit.

The short answer

12 players · 3 courts · 6 rounds

Twelve players fill three doubles courts with no sit-outs. This six-round example keeps partner repeats at zero while reporting the opponent repeats that remain.

This example uses seed 1203. The ledger describes this selected schedule—not a promise that every seed produces the same repeat counts.

Good for

  • Larger social groups with three courts
  • Six-round club sessions
  • Hosts who need full court utilization

Know the limits

  • Opponent repeats remain over six rounds
  • This is rotating-partner play, not a strict all-play-all tournament
  • Roster changes require a new future schedule
