Rotation Tournaments provides a platform for organizing all kinds of sports Singles and Doubles Tournaments, e.g.

Tennis
Table Tennis
Padel
Badminton
Beach Volleyball
Squash

In Rotation Tournaments, each participant plays against every other participant and there are no eliminations in individual rounds. To maximize the variety of match combinations, the matches are typically played in a single set.

The Rotation Tournaments have a strong social aspect because its goal is to keep players in the tournament until the very end. The situation where weaker players would leave the tournament due to elimination rounds is eliminated. It allows grouping players into a special category with special conditions. This special setting can be utilized, for example, in mixed tournaments.

The participants of a tournament change partners several times during the tournament by a random selection and play against different players. The ratio of games won to games lost is calculated for each participant. The winner of the tournament is the player with this highest ratio. While a Singles Rotation Tournament can be organized without the aid of technology, in the case of a Doubles Rotation Tournament, this is not possible.
