// 02 Real-world friction

Uneven gender split? The sheet can't help you.

A printed mixed doubles sheet assumes exactly 12 women and 12 men, all night. One no-show and the rotation is broken. The live mixer's Gender Mixed presets re-solve every round — they keep every possible court woman-man vs woman-man, whatever the actual headcount.

// 03 FAQ

24-player mixed doubles questions.

7 questions
Q.01 How does a 24-player mixed doubles round robin work?
Split your group into 12 women and 12 men. Every court is two teams of one woman + one man, and the schedule rotates partners so each woman plays with a different man every round for as long as mathematically possible. The sheet runs up to 18 rounds — stop whenever your session ends.
Q.02 How many rounds before partners repeat?
First partner repeat: round 13. With 12 women and 12 men each player has exactly 12 possible partners, so 12 rounds is the theoretical maximum with zero repeats — this schedule holds the guarantee all the way to that ceiling, then spreads the unavoidable repeats evenly (the total is the provable minimum for 18 rounds).
Q.03 How many rounds before opponents repeat?
First opponent repeat: round 7. Opponent variety is tighter in mixed doubles than open play — each round a woman faces one woman and one man, out of only 11 other women — so repeats arrive earlier than partner repeats; the schedule pushes them as late as it can.
Q.04 What if we don't have exactly 12 women and 12 men?
A printed equal-split sheet cannot absorb an uneven group. The live mixer's Gender Mixed presets handle any ratio — they keep as many courts as possible woman-man vs woman-man and adjust every round as people arrive or leave.
Q.05 Can I print this schedule with real names?
Yes — two ways. Type names into the "Print with real names" panel above the schedules (women's and men's slots are labeled W1… and M1…) and download the personalized PDF, or use the Excel file's Players tab, where typed names fill every round automatically.
Q.06 What do the P / O / X badges mean?
We only flag repeats. P (orange) = partner repeat — the same woman-man team again. O (yellow) = opponent repeat — the same two players facing each other again. X (pale yellow) = cross-repeat — former partners now on opposite sides of the net. A clean cell means everything on that court is fresh. X badges are unavoidable in mixed doubles: with only 12 possible partners each, everyone eventually faces someone they have partnered.
Q.07 Why use the live mixer instead of the printed schedule?
Because real sessions never go to plan. The mixer's Gender Mixed Only preset keeps every court mixed while handling drop-ins, no-shows, uneven gender splits, skill balance, and sit-out fairness — none of which a printed sheet can adjust to mid-session. Use the download to plan; use the mixer to run the night.

Print it. Or live-mix it.

The PDF and Excel files are free. The live mixer is also free — and its Gender Mixed presets adapt when the split isn't perfect.
