Objective
The app aims to create random, balanced doubles tennis games for casual players on club days, with options for manual adjustments. It supports up to four rounds, each with configurable durations. Players can be added or removed between rounds.

No player partners repeat within a session.
The app tries to minimize repeat opponents, though this may not always be possible.
Players are assigned a parameter (1, 2, or 3) representing skill level or sex, helping balance teams. The parameter 3 is not really necessary, but could be used if necessary.
Optimal balance occurs when 25-33% of players are level 2, with level 3 used for larger groups (24+ players).
The app pairs players strategically to maintain fairness.
Handling Odd Numbers of players
If the number of players isn’t divisible by four, the last court may have 1-3 players. The schedule highlights these cases with color coding for easy identification.

Display Formats
Player List: Shows teams and courts.
Court View: Displays players assigned to each court.

Instructions
Add Players: Build your player pool (minimum 8 players). Save your pool locally in the browser and download folder. You can export/import pools for future use. You can name this Pool of players.
Manage Players: Delete players by clicking their names (only before assigning to teams). Add players anytime and save updates.
Appoint Players: Select players for the day’s teams by checking their boxes. Undo selections by unchecking.
Generate Rounds: Use Manual Round to assign players to courts and teams (a vs b), or Random Round for automatic pairing. You can manually make up one or two courts and have the app make the remaining courts up randomly with players left. Use Split to rearrange players based on previous results.
Modify Draws: Swap players after rounds to adjust matchups as needed. Click on one player, then another and they will be swapped.
Timers & Alerts
Set round durations between 11 and 98 minutes.
Alarm sounds for 10 to 90 seconds when time expires.
