Americano schedule for 24 players

6 courts, 23 rounds, and every player partners every other exactly once. Generated by the same code that runs a live session in the app, so this is the schedule you would actually play.

What a real booking fits

The full rotation is 23 rounds, and almost nobody plays 23 of them. This is the number worth checking before you book rather than after: at 21 points a round runs about 8 minutes, and the first ten minutes of any slot go on arriving, warming up and picking a first pairing.

Booking	Rounds it fits	Of the rotation
60 min	6 rounds	26%
90 min	10 rounds	43%
120 min	13 rounds	57%

At 21 points per round. Play to fewer points and you fit more rounds — see the court-time maths for the other targets.

Stopping early costs nothing structural. Partners are spread from the first round onward, so 10 rounds of it is a complete Americano with a real winner — just one where some pairings never came up.

The rotation

Players are numbered 1 to 24. Hand out the numbers however you like — by arrival, by lot, or by putting your strongest players at opposite ends — because Americano scores individuals, so the numbering carries no seeding.

Nobody sits out across the 23 rounds. Scroll the table sideways for the far courts.

Why 24 works out evenly

24 is a multiple of four, which is exactly the condition for a rotation with no repeated partner: every player is on a court every round.

6 courts is the most this roster can fill, and the arrangement this schedule assumes. Booking fewer never buys more rounds, only more sitting.
One player short is the 23-player rotation, not a broken version of this one.

Running it

Read one row at a time and call all 6 courts together. Rounds that start together finish together, which is what keeps the rotation honest.
Every point counts towards the individual, not the pair. Winning 21–14 banks 21 for both players on the winning side and 14 for both on the losing one.
Play to a fixed point total rather than to games. It is the only way all 6 courts finish on time, and it is why a round count can be promised at all.

The scoring is the part a group chat handles worst. How Americano scoring works covers the rules in full, and the court-time maths covers point targets other than 21.
