How this schedule works for 6 players
With 6 players you can fill 1 court of doubles (4 playing per round), which leaves 2 sitting out each round. The schedule rotates the byes so nobody sits twice before everyone has sat once.Inside each foursome the pairings cycle every round, so you partner with each person in your group before facing them.
Scoring it on the day
Most groups play one game to 11 per round and keep a simple win tally. If you'd rather not chase paper, the Dillball app runs this exact format — enter the group once, and it builds the matchups, records the scores, and keeps live standings, entirely offline.
