- Round Robin — every pairing plays every other pairing in tiebreaks (4+ players)

- Queen of the Court — winners stay on, losers join the queue (4+ players)
- Rotating Partners — partners mix after each game (4+ players)

Captain scope: Captains can only edit match days belonging to a season where they are listed as captain or co-captain.
Match Captain (USTA only): Any player on a USTA match day can be designated as match captain by a team captain or admin. The match captain can edit that match day and its scores, the same as a team captain — for that match day only. The crown icon and player name appear in the match day detail.
Member & Captain visibility: Members can only see season match days and match days they personally played in. Captains also see match days involving any player on a season they captain.
Pro visibility: Pros can see all match days except those marked as test data by an admin.
Test data: Admins can mark any match day as test data — it will be hidden from everyone except admins.
