The main task
Let's take a look at the topicThree-court tournamentWithout any theory and tie it to a real game or event
How to act
First, determine the actual duration of one match with the transition and the score, then calculate the number of slots, leave a reserve, and then select the number of participants and structure
What's important to understand
You have to count the bandwidth from the court hours, not the number of participants. Three courts in six hours give eighteen court hours; in a match in thirty minutes with a transition, it's thirty-six matches, the upper limit that is not achieved in practice. You have to lay down at least fifteen percent of the reserve: one long game or rain shifts the entire grid, and there's nothing to restore the schedule. You have to appoint one person to manage the schedule and don't combine this role with refereeing or conducting. You can't track the queue on three parallel courts
Checklist
Check the key conditions before starting
- read out
- check schedule and bill
- lay down
What to avoid
The mistake is to divide the total time by the game duration alone, without taking into account delays. One long match shifts the entire grid
A practical step
Set the decision in the regulations or the preparation plan
How to check the bandwidth
ForThree-court tournament"First, count the slots: match duration, transitions, input and reserve, the number of participants is determined after the calculation, otherwise the schedule breaks after the first long round
What to report before registration
The player needs a category, a seed, a score system, the number of guaranteed matches, the equality criteria, the late rules and the weather solution, and these conditions cannot be changed after the start without an objective reason and the same application to everyone
