League Example: Coed Random Round Robin

End-to-end setup and operations guide for a coed random round robin league season.

This guide is for event directors, event managers, and organization admins.

What you’re running

A coed league where pairings change across sessions (often described as “random round robin”).

Model in Paddles Up (important)

Paddles Up is team-based. Before setup, decide what your standings represent:

  • Pair standings: treat each pair as a team (team size = 2). Pairings are not “random” inside the app; you’re running a standard round robin between fixed pairs.
  • Individual standings: you’ll still need a team structure to record matches; choose a consistent method for representing results so standings are meaningful for your league.

If you want truly rotating partners and individual standings, you can still run it operationally, but your team setup should match how you’ll interpret results at season end.
