About

Short Background: I wanted to create a doubles tournament with my friends in which we played WITH each ther once, aka Switch Doubles Round Robin Tournament. Creating a round robin was easy enough but the rotating partners feature was more difficult than expected. If you want to learn about sequences and combinatorics check out this site.

What can you do?

Doubles tournament is a simple library to create and manage tournaments for tenis-like sports (tenis, padel tenis, doubles table tenis🤫)

Features

• Create tournament schedule (see below modes)
• Add/Remove players
• Add tournament price
• Add tournament location
• Get leaderboard - you can sort it by player name, wins, losses, games, sets

Modes

There are two modes:

• Round Robin: each player plays every other player. In this mode you can actually choose between Switch Partners (each game you play with a different player) and Fixed Teams (you always play with the same partner)
• Brackets: the old classic tournament, win and move forward in the tournament. But lose, and you are out. You can actually choose between Single Elimination and Double Elimination.

Round Robin

Play against every player at least once. For Round Robin tournaments you simply have to access the method roundRobin in Tournament (see examples below).

Switch Partners Round Robin

Pair up with a different player each game! Most fun and suitable IMO to meet new people, or for groups of players with different levels.

Example (with default values):

import { Tournament } from 'doubles-tournament';

const tournament = Tournament.roundRobin.switchPartners();

Example (with optional parameters)

import { Tournament } from 'doubles-tournament';

const tournament = Tournament.roundRobin.switchPartners({
  price: 15, // number
  name: 'The Michael Scott Padel Company',
  date: new Date(Date.now() & (6.048 ** 8)) // Date, this will create a tournament in a week
  maxNumberOfPlayers: 16 // number
})
