Here's a 5-minute video that walks through Smash Syndicate from sign-in to a proper session setup—arrival rules, session start time, players, courts, queue, and the extras that keep a club night organized.
“Settings: arrival + session start → Players → Courts → Queue → Stats & Finance.”
Whether you’re a queue manager for the first time or training someone new, this is the “do it in the right order” version so check-ins and the queue stay fair.
How the queue picks a match (the hierarchy)
When you tap to build the next game, the app doesn’t pick four people at random. It follows a clear order:
Who’s “up” first (fairness order)
Each player gets an effective priority = least # games played + arrival penalty (from your session start and check-in time). Lower = should play sooner.
If that’s tied, earlier check-in wins, then name order.
Balanced Skill mode
Among those who are due, the algorithm looks for a fair, competitive lineup: teams that match your skill rules (including “mirror” lineups when it keeps things even), avoids crazy skill mismatches, and scores options so team strength stays close.
Diversity / rotation
It then prefers lineups that don’t repeat the same partners and opponents from recent games—using each player’s recent teammates and opponents so the same faces aren’t stuck together or against each other every rally. It also penalizes repeating the exact same four-way matchup when it can avoid it.
Mix mode
Same fairness order as above, but split by gender: top priority males and females are paired into M+F vs M+F mixed doubles (you need at least two men and two women in the pool).
