Setting Up Multiple Rotations with the Same Groups

For leagues with 2 rotations, you might choose to keep the same groups for both rotations. This allows players to have their entire schedule upfront so that they can play both rotations back-to-back without waiting. This guide will explain how to do this. Learn more about when to use this strategy in our rotations guide.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create Your League

   • Set up your league like normal: set league dates, add players, etc.
   • When you create the first week, select 2 rotations.

2. Set Up First Week

   • Check in players
   • Create groups
   • Create matches like normal

3. Before Starting Play

   • At this point, if you go to the games tab and scroll down, you’ll see:
     • The first rotation schedule
     • A placeholder for the rotation 2 games
   • IMPORTANT: DO NOT have players begin play until you create the matches for Rotation 2.

4. Create Second Rotation

   • Go back to the players tab
   • Click “update”
   • Click “Create Matches” just like you did for Rotation 1
   • Set the rotation number to 2
   • This will create the schedule for the second rotation

5. Begin Play
   • Players now have their complete schedule for the entire night
   • Both rotations can be played back-to-back without waiting

Tips for Success

• Make sure to create both rotation schedules before players begin their games
• Consider using a higher movement setting between weeks since players won’t move between rotations
• Communicate clearly to players that they’ll be playing with the same group for both rotations
• Let players know they can proceed directly to their second rotation games without waiting for other groups
