Fairness rules most apps don't even try to enforce.

Every rotation is built against nine specific Human Fairness rules, not a generic computer rotation or simple shuffle. Here's what people notice right away.

Strict Bye Equity

Nobody sits out twice before everyone's sat out once. Byes stay within one of each other, all night.

No Repeat Partners

You won't partner with the same person again until you've played with everyone else in the group.

No Cliques

Sit out together one round, and you won't partner up the next — breaks up predictable pairings.

Court Rotation

You actually move around the courts instead of getting stuck on the same one all evening.

Serve Balance

Who serves first rotates too — no one's stuck receiving (or serving) all night.

Honest Scoring

A 13-11 overtime game is normalized against straight 11-point games — no extra credit for going long.

R

Random Rotation

The classic — a fresh partner and fresh opponents every round, fairly rotated.

M

Mixed Doubles

Every man partners every woman exactly once, byes and all — no manual pairing required.

T

Fixed Teams

Lock in your own teams for a mini-tournament format and run a real round robin between them.

L

MLP-Style Play

4 teams of 4, major-league format — men's, women's, and two mixed games per match, captain's-choice swap included.

#

Easy to Read

Big scores, a real number pad instead of fighting your phone's keyboard, and text that reads at a glance courtside.

⏱

Round Timer

Time the games to get more rounds in a fixed event time.

What's New

Recent updates.

Round the Post keeps improving based on real sessions and real feedback. Here's what's changed lately.

October 21, 2026
  • Bigger groups, fully supported. Random, Mixed doubles and Team rotations now all work cleanly up to 40 players, including smart options for running on fewer courts than ideal.
  • Number of rounds designed so everyone gets the same number of byes — and you can choose more rounds to equalize byes if you want a longer event.
  • Nobody gets stuck on the same court or given first serve too often.
  • Redesigned Courts screen to choose number of courts available and edit court numbers.
  • Fixed a bug where switching between groups mid-event could show the wrong players or accidentally affect the wrong group's round robin.
  • Fixed a bug where clearing a court's name could cause scheduling to fail with a confusing error.
  • Help now opens to the correct section for the screen that you're on.
Get It On Your Phone

No app store. Just add it to your home screen.

This page is Round the Post's website, not the app itself — on Android, tapping Install on Your Phone above installs the real app directly. iPhone's Safari doesn't allow that, so it takes a couple more taps; follow the iPhone steps below.

  1. Run the App Now
  2. Tap the ••• button in Safari's toolbar, then tap Share.
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Tap Add — the Round the Post icon shows up right on your Home Screen.

Tap Install on Your Phone near the top of this page — most Android phones install it directly, no further steps needed. If nothing happens, here's how to do it by hand:

  1. Run the App Now
  2. Tap the ⋮ menu in the top right.
  3. Tap Install app (or Add to Home screen).
  4. Confirm — it launches just like any other app from here on.
