goodMatches is a smart, rating-based matchup rotation generator for social sessions of racket sports, tennis, badminton, table tennis, pickleball etc. With 5-20 players, goodMatches creates a sequence of balanced matchups, a.k.a 'goodMatches', ensuring the best balance possible by player ratings, which update automatically as results come in. While initial levels may be given by the organiser, the ratings, based on real results, will reflect the true skills of the players. Strengths of goodMatches: -- Easy sharing of group data: joining or inviting to an existing group is easy as it gets. New players are instantly part of your group with an invite code or user ID. -- Motivating rating feedback: rating growths are shown after every match. At the end of a session the rating changes for the day is displayed. Great for encouraging for developing players! -- Supports doubles AND singles: including sessions that mix both. -- Fair resting rotation: when a few players must sit out, goodMatches ensures fairness by rotating sit-outs evenly and alternately. -- Flexible mid-session changes: add or remove players when someone arrives late or leaves early, and fairness is still maintained. Try it out, and free yourself from the hassle or imbalance of manual, organiser-based social sessions!
