Plan a lineup
With a Desk Pass, you see your win chance on each line against another team, and who has played most for your team.
Ask for a forecast
Section titled “Ask for a forecast”- In the chat. Name each team in full, as in “What are BELVEDERE TC 18AM4.0A's chances against MILL VALLEY 18AM4.0A?”
- From your own agent. Your agent uses the
plan_lineuptool. - In your team's announcement. With a Desk Pass, the announcement page adds a suggested lineup. Each line shows a win chance when the other team is on the Desk too.
Every forecast counts toward a weekly limit, which the chat and your agents share.
Tell it who's out
Section titled “Tell it who's out”Tell the chat who's away, like “Jane is out this week”, and your win chances move most on the lines they've played.
Give it your lineup
Section titled “Give it your lineup”Say “Ann and Bea play Doubles 1” in the chat, so the win chances follow your picks. The forecast uses who has played a line if you omit it or give a name it can't place. Your agent can also use the lineup you name.
Suggested pairs
Section titled “Suggested pairs”Signed in, the chat and your agent suggest doubles pairs. For Combo and 55, 65 and 70 and over teams, the Desk picks each line's strongest pair by Desk level that the league allows. For other teams, Mixed included, the Desk ranks your players by Desk level, and the chat or your agent pairs them. Anyone you say is away is left out. A pair has no win chance, so check it before you send your lineup.
Read the forecast
Section titled “Read the forecast”When both teams are on the Desk, you see each line's win chance and expected lines won. Beside each chance, you see how strong the other team has been on that line, as a Desk level, the Desk's estimate of how players are playing now.
The forecast reads who each team has played so far (how it works), so check it against who's free this week.
Scout for free instead
Section titled “Scout for free instead”A team's roster, record, head-to-head record and scout are free. Each line's win chance comes with a Desk Pass.
The Desk records how pages are used, including what is typed, and keeps recordings for up to 30 days, as the terms explain.
