Hi Roch,

Yep that’s exactly it. Yes I have already submitted the idea the Ideas Board.
https://sportspress.uservoice.com/forums/285525-ideaboard/suggestions/14847405-tennis-doubles

From a “business” standpoint, having this feature would increase usage of your plugin and imagine many Theme Builders would leverage it to build racquet sport leagues web sites.

Hope to see the feature soon.

Hi Roch,

Ok, I’ll do my best.

Team A consist of several players. These players then are assigned a partner to play doubles (doubles team) to play against Team B’s doubles teams.

Team A Doubles Team 1 vs Team B Doubles Team 1
Team A Doubles Team 2 vs Team B Doubles Team 2
So on and so on…

From what I can tell you can’t have a “team” within in a team. And as it exists right now, each player is assigned a “position” and the doubles team is made up of same position. Now, in order to record the score, you must enter it twice for each team. Total 4 times.

Team A Doubles Team 1 Player 1>Enter Score
Team A Doubles Team 1 Player 2>Enter Score
Team B Doubles Team 1 Player 1>Enter Score
Team B Doubles Team 1 Player 2>Enter Score

Possibly having a “Partner” field so that when you build the roster you only have to select one player for each position, then have an option to select partner from the available Team Players list. By the partner being selected, this would automagically apply the score to the selected partner as well. Thus only have to enter the score twice total and once for each team.

This could be applied to all racquet sports (i.e. Racquetball, Squash, Table Tennis, Pickle-ball, Badminton, etc.)

SportPress currently has separate modules/plug-ins just for golf, baseball, etc. Maybe having a separate module/plugin for “Racquet Sports” would beneficial. In fact I bet you have a TON of installs within the first month.

Once again, GREAT plugin overall!

Hi Roch,

I know this post is a little and even made the suggestion here:

https://sportspress.uservoice.com/forums/285525-ideaboard/suggestions/14847405-tennis-doubles

Currently the way SportSpress is setup for tennis, if it is a doubles match, you have to essentially enter the score 4 times for each player, even if you put them in the same “position”.

The way you suggest would be that each doubles team would be its own “Team” then only have two players on each team. That would not be a bad way to go if it was some kind of ladder league. However, in the US, most play some sort of Team Tennis, so you will have many doubles teams make up a Team. This is where the crux of this issue lies.

Having Doubles capability for all racquet and paddle sports would put this plug-in in a league of its own. No pun intended.

Great plugin overall!
