Generating a schedule
Once players are registered, Skoryd builds the match schedule for you. This page covers round-robin and Partner Switch scheduling; bracket generation has its own guide.
Generating
On the event page, tap Generate schedule. Skoryd creates the matches for the format you chose:
- Round robin — everyone plays everyone once.
- Partner Switch — a rotation that varies partners and opponents each round (see Event formats).
Swiss-system events are different: they're generated one round at a time, since each round's pairings depend on the previous round's results. See that guide for the round-by-round flow.
When you generate, the event moves to registration closed (not yet active) so you can review the schedule before play starts.
Board assignment
If your event uses multiple boards (courts), Skoryd assigns matches to boards with a balancing algorithm so players are spread across boards as evenly as the structure allows — no one gets stuck on a single board all night. For some player counts a perfectly even split is mathematically impossible; the generator gets as close to that floor as possible.
Scheduling across dates
For a tournament with multiple dates, you can spread the rounds:
- Weekly / sequential — rounds run in order.
- Specific dates — rounds are spread evenly across the dates you set.
If the event is attached to a season, the schedule respects the season's date window.
When an event was actually played
Once an event is completed, its page shows a Played date — the day the first result was final through the day the last one was, in your own time zone. A one-day event shows a single date.
That's the day it really ran, which isn't always the day it was booked for. If the two differ, the dates you'd scheduled appear underneath as a smaller Scheduled line, so a rain delay or a day that ran long is visible rather than quietly overwriting the plan. Byes don't count toward it — nobody played those.
Event listings keep showing the scheduled dates, so an event you're browsing for still reads the way it was advertised.
Editing the schedule
Tap Edit schedule on the event page to adjust dates and details. Matches are grouped by stage (for example, a double-elimination event splits Winners and Losers rounds into separate cards, each with its own date).
Heads up
The schedule editor locks any match that's already approved or forfeited, and a completed event can't be edited by organizers — finished results are permanent. If a mistake slips through, a site admin can reopen the event to correct it; see Leagues vs tournaments.
Starting the event
The event page has a status button that walks the event through its stages — Open registration → Close registration → Start league/tournament → Complete league/tournament. When you're happy with the schedule, tap Start league (or Start tournament) to flip it to active so players can score. On a bracket, the same Start button also appears right on the bracket page so you don't have to bounce back to the event page.
