Doubles is here: form a team and play together

You can now play Tennis-Liga as a doubles team. Create your team, invite your partner, and join a round once both players are confirmed.

Some matches are better with a partner.

Doubles is now available in Tennis-Liga, and we wanted the flow to feel simple: create a team, invite your partner, wait for them to accept, then register together for a round.

The important part is that doubles works as a team from the start. You are not signing up as two separate players who hopefully end up in the same place. You form a team first, and the team is what joins the queue.

Step 1: create your team

Start from the Teams page and create a new doubles team. Tennis-Liga creates the team with you as the first confirmed member.

From there you can invite your partner in two ways: share the join code or send an email invitation. The join code is useful if you are already chatting somewhere else. The email invite is better when you want Tennis-Liga to handle the invitation for you.

Invite your partner by link, join code, or email.

Step 2: your partner accepts

Until your partner accepts, the team stays in a waiting state. You can still see the team, copy the invitation link again, or remove the pending invitation if you need to change plans.

This small waiting step prevents confusion later. Both players should know they are part of the same team before anything gets queued or paid for.

The team is visible while the partner invitation is still pending.

Step 3: register together

Once both players are confirmed, the team is ready. You can then choose a round and register as a pair.

Behind the scenes, Tennis-Liga treats the doubles team as one entry. That matters for queues, payments, and match planning. It also means the team can use shared availability properly: for a doubles slot to count, both partners need to be available.

Once both players are confirmed, the team can register for a round.

Why we built it this way

Doubles sounds simple, but it gets messy quickly if the system only thinks in individual players. What happens if one partner pays and the other does not? What if both players accidentally join different queues? What if availability works for one player but not the other?

So we made the team the main object. It keeps the flow clearer for players and gives us a better base for scheduling, payments, and future doubles improvements.

If you already have a regular doubles partner, try creating a team and sending an invite. It only takes a minute, and after that you can join rounds together whenever you are ready.
