My Round Robin consists of four sections, Game, Scores, Players, and Teams. To start playing My Round Robin, you’ll usually want to start by adding players in the Manage Players page, either by adding them manually, importing your contacts, or by importing a JSON file with names. Players added here are saved permanently to a SQLite database on your iPhone/iPad. Note that when you import contacts, you have the choice of either importing selected contacts or all contacts. If you choose selected contacts, only these contacts will be imported in the future, so if you plan to add new contacts, choosing all contacts might be a better choice. Also note that this is is a privacy feature build into the Apple platform, and the choice is only provided one time per application. Another way of importing multiple people is to use a JSON file, a sample of which looks like this:

{

    “name”: [

        “Dave Bigelow”,

        “Michael Jones”,

        “Alan Maples”

]

}

You can download a sample JSON file below and replace the numbers with first and last names. Afterwards, you can load the file by emailing it to yourself, opening the email on your iPhone or iPad, and then downloading the file.

Players added are set to Active by default, and they will show up in the Players list in the Game page when you start a game. To edit a player, click on the row with the players name. You can both change the spelling of a player’s name or toggle them between Active and Inactive. Inactive players do not show up on the Players list

To start a game, go to the Game page. Use the toggle button to chose between Teams or Players, and then select either teams or players from the respective list . My Round Robin currently supports up to 20 players/teams using 5 courts. The Players List is sorted alphabetically, but the selected players are shuffled randomly when added to the list. Once at least eight players or teams are added, an Add Courts button appears. Click on this button and you’ll advance to the Courts page, where you can choose a court by clicking a court number button. Once the courts are selected, you click the Generate Round Robin button, and you’ll advance to the Games view, with the court numbers, the game numbers, and the players for each game. Click on a Game button to see the Game Detail view. Within the Game Detail View, you can add scores if desired. The Scores page summarizes the current scores.

My Round Robin doesn’t require an Internet question.
