FAQ

Common questions

No. You can create a game page and start adding players immediately — no sign-up, no email, no password. Just share the link with your group.

Each round, the algorithm generates 200 possible court arrangements and scores them on three criteria: team balance (using win rates from recorded scores), partner variety (avoiding repeat pairings), and opponent variety. It picks the best option. Players who sat out last round are prioritised for the next one.

Currently MetroBadminton Play is designed for doubles play, the most common format at casual sessions. Singles and mixed-format support is on our roadmap.

You can add or remove players at any time. The algorithm recalculates rotations based on whoever is currently active, so latecomers slot in seamlessly.

There's no hard limit. The tool works best with 2-8 courts and up to around 30 players — which covers the vast majority of casual sessions.

Only the session organiser needs to manage the page. Players can open the link to check court assignments and scores, but it's entirely optional — you can just call out the courts.

Game pages are stored so anyone with the link can access them. We don't collect personal information beyond what you type into the session (player names and scores).

Right now each session gets its own page. We're working on a recurring session feature so you can carry over your player list each week.
