The whole group stage, on the courts, before you start
Give us the entry and the courts and CourtsOS deals the day: which pair, on which court, in which round. It goes up on the wall and on the tablets at once, so nobody is asking the desk what happens next.
It also tells you which days it can actually deal. Say you have 11 pairs and three courts and it ranks the structures that work — a group of six and a group of five, a capped round robin, a straight knockout — with the one where nobody goes home after an hour at the top.
- Any entry from six pairs up — a field that does not divide neatly splits into balanced groups instead of being turned away
- Per-court queues — a fast court takes its next tie rather than waiting on a slow one
- The final on the show court — you choose which court it lands on
- A plate for the ones who go out, so an early exit is not the end of somebody's day
Scored where it is played, not carried to a desk
The tablet on the court fence knows which tie is next on that court and opens on it, with the four names in place. The players tap through the match — point by point, or game by game if nobody wants to count — and the moment it is over the result is on every board in the building.
Nothing is re-typed at the desk, so nothing is mistyped at the desk. And if a score does need changing, the referee amends it from the console and the correction runs all the way through the tables and the draw.
- Best of one, three, five or seven · 6-game, Short 4 or Fast4 sets
- Match tiebreaks, championship tiebreaks, golden point — your call
- A disputed score is flagged, not buried
- An exhibition match can be pushed to the show court and scored without counting for anything
