Doubles tournaments: pairs in the bracket, table and standings

In racket sports doubles events are as common as singles. In HoneyCup a tournament participant can be a pair: two players with one shared result in the bracket, table and standings.

How to turn it on

Pick a sport — tennis, padel, badminton, pickleball, table tennis or squash — and switch the tournament type from “Singles” to “Doubles”. A participant is then added with two fields: “Player 1” and “Player 2”.

The Participants tab: a pair is added with two fields, and each player has their own pencil to edit the name.

Which formats

Pairs work in round robin, single and double elimination, Swiss and its knockout variants, and in group formats: groups + knockout, + double elimination, + placement finals, + Swiss. For padel and pickleball with partners rotating every round there is a separate format — Americano.

Editing a pair

A typo in either player's name can be fixed wherever the pair appears: in the Participants tab, in the group table and right in the bracket. The pair's results are kept.

Results and standings

Every match in the bracket and table shows both players of each pair. Scores are entered just like in singles — for the whole pair. The played-matches counter, places and statistics are all counted per pair.
