Questions
What is the difference between Americano and Mexicano?
In Americano the whole schedule is set in advance so that partners rotate and everyone partners everyone as far as possible. In Mexicano only the first round is set; after each round, players are re-paired from the standings, with 1st and 4th playing 2nd and 3rd on the top court, and so on down.
How are sit-outs shared fairly?
When there are more players than places on court, the players who have sat out the fewest times play next. Over the default number of rounds everyone sits out the same number of times.
