What is Pre-set Rounds?
Running a club session often means juggling who wants to play, who needs a rest, and who is heading home early.
Pre-set Rounds takes that burden off the organiser. Players simply say at the start how many rounds they’d like to take part in, and Setsy will automatically rest them when the time comes.
No more notes on scraps of paper or players tapping you on the shoulder mid-session. With Pre-set Rounds, it’s all planned up front.
How it works
When a player arrives, the organiser asks: “How many rounds would you like to play today?”
For example:
- Sally says she wants to play the first 4 rounds, then head home.
- John says he only has time for 2 rounds.
The organiser enters those preferences into Setsy when setting up the session. From there, Setsy ensures:
- Each player participates in the rounds they requested.
- They are automatically rested in later rounds once their preference is reached.
- The organiser doesn’t need to manually keep track of who’s leaving when.
Why it matters
- Less stress for organisers – no more remembering who’s stopping early.
- Clarity for players – everyone knows when they’ll finish, without needing to ask mid-session.
- Smoother flow – the system automatically respects player preferences as rounds are generated.
