Bracket Creator Doubles Pairing

In individual sports that have a doubles team of exactly two players, before the bracket creator can calculate the draws, the players must be paired into 2-person teams.

When a player is going through the process to register for event divisions, all doubles divisions have an additional partner box that they must fill out in order to continue to the next step..

The screenshot on this page shows the doubles pairing page with its two sides. The left side lists players who are not paired into a team yet with their partner name listed next to them. The right side lists teams that have already been paired. Before the bracket creator can create a draw, all individuals must be paired into teams

If a player is not sure who their partner will be, or if the partner hasn’t yet tried to register online and it is time to begin seeding draws, a new team can be created with needing a partner status, or partner hasn’t entered. Once the other player is added in the tournament participants section, they will also be displayed on the left side of the doubles pairing page and can be inserted into the team that is missing the player. The bracket creator automatically updates any draws that the team was already seeded in along with start time lists and media reports.

When necessary, teams can be unpaired by clicking on one of the players’ first or last names in the team on the right side in the doubles teams section. When a draw has already been created, the bracket creator will place a bye on the draw in place of the old team’s name.

After there are no unpaired players remaining, the tournament manager can select from different bracket formats and begin seeding the draws and setting times for tournament draws
