Add, rename and manage players

Tennis Time keeps a list of the people you play with. Add a player from any empty tile with the plus button, give them a level, star your regular partners, and touch and hold a name to change the order.

Open the player list

  • While setting up a match: tap a tile on the Players tab. The list is titled Choose Player, and tapping a name puts that player in the tile.
  • From Settings: tap Settings, then Players. The same list, to edit at any time.

You are always first, then your favourites, then everyone else. Each row has a star (favourite), a pencil (rename) and a trash can (delete).
