A Rotation League is a seasonal competitive format where a fixed group of paid members play regularly scheduled sessions with rotating partners. Each player's individual win/loss record is tracked across all sessions, culminating in a “Moneyball” playoff finale where top performers compete as balanced snake-draft teams.
Typical example:
32 players · 4 courts · 13 weeks · 6 sessions/player · $240/quarter
Step through each phase from setup to completion
Organizer
Player
The scheduler uses a constraint-satisfaction algorithm to create fair weekly assignments:
Guaranteed sessions
Every player gets exactly their promised sessions — no more, no less.
Respects availability
Players are never scheduled on weeks they marked as unavailable.
Balances assignments
Players with fewer sessions assigned so far get priority in each round.
Fair randomization
Fisher-Yates shuffle ensures no player is systematically favored or disadvantaged.
Tip for organizers: If too many players mark the same weeks as unavailable, the algorithm may not be able to guarantee all sessions. Ask players to be as available as possible, or reduce sessions per player by 1. You can regenerate the schedule as many times as needed before publishing.
At the end of the regular season, the top 16 players by win percentage automatically qualify. Snake draft seeding forms two evenly matched teams:
Team A — Seeds:
1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16
Team B — Seeds:
2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15
The snake draft pattern ensures balanced teams — the best player (#1) is paired with seeds 4, 5, 8… giving the other team seeds 2, 3, 6, 7… for equal overall strength.
