Introduction
Eight players, two courts, two hours ahead of you. All that is left is deciding who plays with whom — and then remembering it. Mix&Match takes that part off your hands: you say who turned up and how many courts you have, the schedule builds itself, everyone enters their scores from their phone, and the standings follow without anyone keeping a sheet.
Who it is for
Thursday evenings among friends, when you have had enough of redrawing the teams on the back of a napkin. Inside a club, where tournaments come round all season and somebody has to look after them. For the yearly gathering of a works council or an association — the one you prepare for weeks and that has to run itself on the day.
The rest of the manual goes into detail, chapter by chapter. Here, we start at the beginning.
What it is made of
Everything revolves around the tournament. It can live inside a group — where it joins a shared history — or stand alone, for one evening.
Above the group there is sometimes a structure: a club, an association, holding several of them. And alongside, two words that talk about money rather than play — the product, which says how far you can go, and the credit, which opens the door once.

Where to go next
If you are starting out, read Groups then Formats: those are the first two decisions to make, and everything else follows from them. If you have come for a club, an association or a works council, go straight to Organisations — it is written for you.
