You Asked, We Built It
12 changes
Since September 9, 2026
All from user feedback
By Jefferson Almeida, who plays five days a week, competes in tournaments, and builds DillDraw.
Almost every change to DillDraw this fall started with a message from someone who had used it with a real group. This page lists those changes, newest first. For each one, it says what the problem was and what is different in the app now.
We leave names out. The groups range from a pool of 24 players on 5 indoor courts to 8 players on 2 courts. If something does not work the way your group plays, please write to hello@dilldraw.com. That is how every item below started.
⚡ The short answer. Twelve changes since September 9, 2026, all asked for by people running real sessions: a draw that mixes the whole group, a way to keep playing after a full round robin, courts that rotate fairly, a no-scores mode, editable court names, a saved-player picker, printable schedules up to 20 players, and a DUPR export that matches DUPR's own file.
October 2026
October 8: No zoom when tapping scores fast
An organizer entering scores on an iPhone tapped + and − quickly, and a tap just outside the button made the screen zoom in. Fast taps no longer zoom the screen. Pinch-to-zoom still works if you want larger text.
October 8: No-scores mode
A group running timed 12-minute rounds with 20 to 35 players wanted to move straight on when the timer goes off. Round robin now has a No scores option at setup. All courts play at once, one Next round button ends the round, and the next round is drawn from the whole group. The mixing is the same as in scored mode, because the draw does not use scores. A Players tab shows who played with whom, round by round. King of the Court still needs scores, because it has to know which side stays on.
September 2026
September 27: Fair court rotation
In a group of 12 on 3 courts, the mixing worked with no repeated partners, but one player never left court 1. Their courts are not equal, so that mattered. DillDraw now places each foursome on the courts its players have been on least. Who plays with whom is decided first and is exactly as before. Court balance only chooses between draws that mix equally well. In our test of 12 players on 3 courts over 6 rounds, sessions where someone played 5 or more of 6 games on one court went from 55% to none.
September 26: No unexplained byes for fixed teams
A group playing fixed teams got byes they could not explain. With 6 teams and 3 courts, nobody should sit. Fixed teams now follow a full round robin plan, one round at a time, so every round fills every court whenever there are enough courts. Before the change, 6 teams on 3 courts got 5 clean rounds only about 31% of the time.
September 26: Type scores directly
The same group did not want to tap + eleven times to record 11. The score box can now be typed into directly. Tap the number and type it, or use the − and + buttons. When you correct a score, the old number is selected, so what you type replaces it.
September 26: DUPR player slot labels
An organizer uploading results to DUPR found that DUPR's own sample file fills the ExternalId columns with fixed slot labels, and that their uploads worked that way. The export now fills those columns the same way: A1 EXT-1001, A2 EXT-1002, B1 EXT-2001 and B2 EXT-2002 on every row.
September 25: DUPR export in DUPR's own layout
The same organizer sent us the sample file DUPR offers for download.
The DUPR export now uses the 27 columns of that sample file. Columns DillDraw has no data for, such as DUPR ID and location, are left blank instead of guessed. DillDraw does not connect to DUPR. The organizer downloads the file and uploads it. The
DUPR-rated round robin guide covers the rest of that process.
September 16: The draw mixes the whole group
This group stopped using the app after 3 rounds. The old version refilled a court as soon as it finished, so the only free players were the four who had just come off it. DillDraw now waits until every court has finished and draws the next round from the whole group. Eight players on 2 courts now get all 28 possible partnerships in 14 games, with no partner repeated. If one court finishes early, it says it is waiting and offers a button to start anyway.
September 16: Keep playing
In a 5-player session, once everyone had played everyone, there was no way to continue. A finished round robin now offers Keep playing, which carries on with the fairest repeats.
September 9 and 10: Printable schedules up to 20 players
An organizer with a pool of 24 players and 5 courts needed printed schedules for the sizes he actually gets.
Printable schedules now cover 17, 18, 19 and 20 players, so every group size from 4 to 20 has one. They are all on the
round robin schedules page.
September 9: Rename your courts
The same organizer's building uses its own court numbers. Courts can now be renamed, at setup or during a session, so the screen uses the names your players see on the court.
September 9: Pick tonight's players from a saved list
His group is the same two dozen people every week, with a different subset each night. Players you have entered before are now saved on your device, and a picker lets you tick who came tonight.
What one organizer noticed that we did not plan
When the draw changed to one full round at a time, we expected people to notice the mixing. One organizer noticed something else. Because every court now finishes before the next round is drawn, all the scores get entered together between rounds. Before, scores came in one court at a time while players waited to get back on, and that is when mistakes happen. We did not build it for that reason, but for a large group it may matter as much as the mixing.
Other changes in the same period
Not every change came from a message. In September we also checked every printable schedule for how often each pair of players meets as opponents. The schedules for 8, 9, 12, 13 and 16 players were rebuilt so that every pair partners exactly once and meets as opponents exactly twice, and that balance holds from the first round, so stopping early is still fair.
