hsb club badminton games fairplay rotation queue management simulation

simple algorithm / rules 😀 Simulation/demo : You can refresh/reload as much as you like in your OWN handsets/laptops 😂
Simulate 1 court Simulate 2 courts Simulate 3 courts Simulate 4 courts Simulate 5 courts

Better simulate using Windows on laptop/desktop where you can use the arrow key to simulate 'Sign In' quickly (can demo if needed).  You can also see the console log in Inspect dev tool (if you are aware of it 😏) .

For better mix and truly fair play  And the program can manage ( 8*court_numbers - 1 ) players 👍😊

After 'End Game', randomly choose 1 from those 3 who played once to remain and  3 off.  3 in waiting on.   
If waiting_list % 3 == 0 , 3 or 4 off alternatively for better mix and on different courts (for max 6*courts_number+1 players)
If more than 3*courts_number players in waiting, all 4 off and first 4 in waiting back to court to play (deals with max 8*courts_number-1 players)
Ultimate Limit is 8 players per court (cost less and about 2.5 pounds per players for 2 hours).  
If 8 (2 courts) or 12 (3 courts) players in waiting, some one randomly chosen will be skipped one game alternatively to break even and for better mix

suggestion:
ONE court - max 7 players for better mix
3 off every game and only ONE of the winners stay decided by 'Head & Tail' (no need if one the winners played 2 times already)

Magnificent 7 last night:  Amanda, Desmond, Felessia, James, Mark, MikeB, Rainbow

Paired with Mark twice, MikeB twice, Rainbow twice, Felessia 2.5 times (total 8.5 games and cost 3 pounds 😊) won ONE game 😂only😎
Did not pair with Desmond nor Amanda so as better balanced.  

the programs works fine

If you 'End Game' on the wrong court
stay calm 😂 as accident does happen 🙏 even though the page prompts for confirmation !
inform the 4 players to wait a bit longer for the wrongly ended game court
'End Game' the correct court and calling new players loudly😎👍
