The 'Tennis Mixer' app is for tennis coaches and managers and helps them organise singles or doubles 'Mixer' events. In 'Mixers' players are selected for matches based on their 'Leader board' position, i.e. their scores at that event so far, so the organiser simply records the scores and everyone gets matches at their level.
Run a 'Fake Event' to try it out -
(To access the 'Facility Menu' you will first need to be the manager of your facility on www.PlayTenn.is. For full instructions on this follow the video at 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znLjqdEzs30&t=19s')
1. Go to 'Events' in the 'Facility Menu' and click 'Add event.'
2. Select 'Fake event,' 'Mixer' and 'Doubles' in the options and add the event.
3. Install the 'Tennis Mixer' app and sign in using the email and password you use at www.PlayTenn.is.
4. Select the event you want to run from the list of mixer events at your club. You can return to this list at any time by clicking the 'Balloons' icon in the top right corner of the screen.
5. You will see a list of 30 fake players. Click add beside some of them to add them to your list of players in the 'Here' list.
6. Click the 'Order of Play' icon, select the number of courts you are using. Record scores and generate new matches, either one at a time, in batches or all together. You can see the 'Leaderboard' and override selections if you want, perhaps if friends want to play together.
7. Try the option to finish the event with Semi Finals and a Final.
Run a Real Event
1. Add an event as before but this time leave 'Fake Event' unchecked.
2. Advertise the event with emails, Facebook, posters or however you normally promote events. Ask your players to register by clicking the 'Play' button beside the event in their free 'Play More Tennis' app.
3. When you select the event in the 'Tennis Mixer' app you will see all the players who have ever installed the 'Play More Tennis' app and linked to your facility. Under 'Coming' you will see the names of people who clicked 'Play' to say they were coming.
4. 'Add Players' allows you to add players who turn up but have not yet installed the app. When you add them they will be sent a text with a link and instructions to get the app.
5. Run the event in the same way you ran the fake event.
