BRACKETS THAT WORK

- Double elimination: lose once and you drop into the Second chance bracket. The Fair final gives the unbeaten team a real rematch.
- Round robin: everyone plays everyone, with an automatic schedule and a standings table.
- Pools, then playoff: small pools play round robin, then the top teams go into a knockout.
- King / Queen of the Beach: sign up solo, new partner every game.
- Best of 3 or best of 5 matches, scored game by game.
- Any number of teams. Brackets are free, with no team cap.

KING / QUEEN OF THE BEACH
Players sign up solo and are split into pools of 4 to 8. Everyone plays 2 v 2 with a new partner every game: a pool of 4 plays 3 games, a pool of 5 plays 5 games, and everyone partners everyone once. Each game counts for both partners, and players are ranked by wins, then point differential.
- When pool play ends, run a finals pool of the top players, or a bracket of balanced fixed pairs (1st with last).
- The TV shows each pool's standings and the Up next pairs for every pool.
POOLS, THEN PLAYOFF
Small pools play round robin, then the top teams from each pool go into a knockout. Seeding sends pool winners against runners-up from another pool. You can also start a playoff from any round robin.
