This is a Random Doubles Tennis Generator, Web Application that has been designed to run Online, Offline in a Browser, or as an Android Application on your Android device, Cellphone, or Tablet. Running the Android App. version on an Android device is the more reliable way to run this Application for that device type. The Android app does not require the use of the Internet. You can Download the Android app from the Amazon appstore ( https://www.amazon.in/WantitConsulting-Blackboard-Tennis-Schedular/dp/B0D2QXLF9B )  or Download the Offline Browser version which is a zip file containing an html webpage, a Readme file, and a icon file, which once upzipped you can click on the BlackboardTennisSched.html file, which will start the Webpage up in a Browser session. For more information on the Browser Offline version, please read the ReadMe file that is contained in the zip file.
If your device is capable of connecting to a TV screen then that would be a good way to make the draw/schedule viewable to all players, else you could transcibe your Draw/Schedule to a Blackboard, or just call the Teams out.

Important: With this version you must have enough Courts to support all the players that have turned up, to play at the same time.

Clicking on the Print Schedule button will produce a pdf file of the entire screen page. This file will appear in your Downloads folder and have the name "tennis<todays Date>.pdf" . This is a good way to record your history of scores.

Objective:
The objective was to generate Random Games of Doubles Tennis where Casual Players would turn up on a Club day for friendly Games. It can generate/handle a maximum of four Rounds. Each Round will run for a period set up by the organizer. Any Round can be Manually configured, or Randomly configured by this app. No player should end up with the same partner twice. The app also tries to avoid players playing against the same person more than once, however this is not always possible. Each Player is given a Parameter. This parameter can be 1 or 2 which could denote their Sex or Skill Level. This is done to try and achieve balanced Sets. The app in Random mode will match 1 & 2 players together until those combinations are exhausted. Players can be Added and Deleted between rounds. In some rounds you may not have a Mod 4 players available, hence the last court could have from 1 to 3 players assigned. How you handle this is up to the organizer. The schedule will indicate those odd players per Round by a color for each round.

Instructions:

  Add players to your Pool. You need at least eight players. Once you have assembled your Pool, make sure you Save it. You can also Export it with a Filename of your choice. Later on you could Import that file as your Current Pool.
To Delete a Player from your Pool just Click on that Players name. Once you have started to assign players from the pool to a Team, you cannot delete players from the Pool, but you can add them at any time and Save the updated Pool. You can Reload that Saved list at anytime.

  You can also Clear the Pool, which just Clears the Screen. It does not Clear your   Saved List. You can create a new Pool at anytime and use it. You don't have to Save it to use it. It could be a Temporary List just to use for that occassion.

Once you have your Pool of Players set up you can then Appoint them to the Team to be played that day. Just Click on the Checkbox for each player you wish to Appoint to the Team today. If you make a mistake then Click on the Player in the Team or Untick their Checkbox, and they will be put back in the Pool and the Team List will shuffle up. The next appointed player will appear at the bottom of the list. As the Rounds progress you can Delete or Add players between Rounds.

  After you have Apointed the Players you want the to either click on Manual Round  button or on Random Round  button. If you use the Manual Round  option you must assign every player to a Court, and a letter of lowercase a or b . a players verse the b players. In Manual mode when you have set up the players for that round, the Start Game button will appear. Click on it and if your configuration has errors the app will indicate what the error is, correct it, then click on the Start Game button again. Remember you can Delete/Add players to Team playing, between Rounds.

There is also a Results to PDF button, which will allow you to print out the whole Web Page Screen. This works well when run through the Browser, and on Android App. The pdf file named tennis<Date Played>.pdf will appear in your Downloads folder.
