Generating a schedule
Once players are registered, Skoryd builds the match schedule for you. This page covers round-robin and round-robin 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 roulette — 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.
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 at all — finished results are permanent.
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.
