⚖️ With 6 players, there’s no way to split doubles matches so that every pair partners together exactly once and the numbers still work out evenly — it’s a matter of arithmetic, not a shortcut we took. This schedule is the mathematically best possible: every player partners with every other player at least once, with exactly one pair partnering twice to fill out the last match, and byes spread as evenly as the math allows.
