## Direct answers

- A doubles pickleball court uses four playing spots. With P players and C available courts, active courts are min(C, floor(P/4)); byes are P - 4 × active courts.
- Fair rotation starts by keeping games played within one when feasible and avoiding consecutive byes when a playing spot is available.
- DinkFair minimizes repeated partners before repeated opponents and explains unavoidable repeats instead of claiming every schedule is perfect.
- The web scheduler and iPhone app use the same deterministic fixtures for 4–32 players and 1–8 courts.
- Completed iPhone rounds are immutable. Accepted current rounds are stored locally in versioned SwiftData state after every change.
