Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a match-making display device that displays match-ups for doubles matches in sports such as tennis, badminton, and table tennis. [Background technology]

[0002] When playing doubles practice matches in sports clubs such as tennis, a match randomization table is often used to randomly pair members and ensure a fair match. Match randomization tables are available using software that can be used on computers or smartphones, as well as printed sheets.

[0003] When smartphones and computers are used for long periods of time, they go into standby mode or are turned off to conserve battery power, so checking the status requires the user to turn the power back on and enter a password, which is time-consuming. Additionally, computers are heavy to carry around during sports practice, and there is also the risk of damage if the computer is hit by a ball, making them unsuitable for use on-site.

[0004] For the printed version, the match pairings for each number of participants were written on paper, so it was necessary to either remember the positions while using them, or to use some ingenuity, such as placing a marker to indicate the current pairings. Also, the printed version was difficult to use because it could be blown away by the wind. Also, the printed version would become crumpled if used repeatedly.

[0006] [Non-Patent Document 1] If you search the internet for "doubles random number table combinations," you will find many match tables and application software. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] To provide an easy-to-handle, lightweight, and compact match pairing display device that enables participants to evenly and randomly pair up matches when playing a doubles practice match with a large number of people. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention is characterized mainly in that a match random number table for each number of participants is written in a row on a long, narrow sheet, and a movable slide mechanism marker is provided on the match random number table sheet to make it easier to check the current match combinations. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The present invention uses a single, long, thin sheet with a row of random number tables for each participant, with a sliding marker. By sliding the marker after each match, the next match pairings can be confirmed, making it easy for anyone to use. Furthermore, because it is a long, thin sheet, random number tables for different numbers of participants can be bundled together, and it has the advantage of being compact and easy to carry.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] A table of random numbers for combinations according to the number of participants is printed vertically and created into a long, thin sheet for each number of participants, and a marker for a sliding mechanism that can be moved on the sheet is provided. [Example]

[0012] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention, in which (1) is a sheet of the random number table, made of paper, resin sheet, or metal plate. (2) is the number of participants, printed at the top and bottom of the random number table sheet (1). (3) is a combination random number table, printed on the random number table sheet (1). (5) is a marker with a sliding structure made of resin, rubber, or metal, and is curved to provide adequate resistance so that the random number table sheet (1) can be clamped to prevent it from easily slipping, or the holes are slightly tight. Alternatively, it can be equipped with a spring to clamp the random number table sheet (1), allowing it to slide over the random number table sheet (1). Hole (4) is used to bundle or hold the random number table sheet (1).

[0013] Figure 1 shows an example of a matchup display device when there are five participating members. First, participants will be assigned numbers starting from 1 using lottery or rock-paper-scissors. The matches will start from the top of the random number table (3) written on the match random number table sheet (1), and so "1-2 3-4" will be a match between "number 1 and number 2" and "number 3 and number 4." The unlisted member number 5 will be on standby. After each match, slide the slide mechanism marker (5) down one level, and the number determines the partner and opponent for the match. [Example]

[0014] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a slide mechanism mark (7) with a window (8) is provided on the sheet (1) of the battle random number table. [Example]

[0015] In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, a slide mechanism marker (10) is provided on a stack (9) of sheets of the battle random number table on which random number combinations are printed for different numbers of participants, and the marker (10) has a through hole (11) and a window (12), and a ring (13) is provided over the hole (4) for bundling the stack (9) of battle random number table sheets to prevent them from coming apart. The stack (9) of battle random number table sheets is sized for the number of players required, as shown in Figure 12: (1·5) for 5 players, (1·6) for 6 players, (1·7) for 7 players, (1·8) for 8 players, (1·9) for 9 players, (1·10) for 10 players, etc., and each sheet contains a combination random number table appropriate for the number of players. To use it, pull out the marker (10), place the sheet from the stack of match random number sheets (9) that matches the number of players on top, pass the stack of match random number sheets (9) through the hole (11) in the marker (10), and set the window (12) to the top random number combination "1-2 3-4" to start the match. After the match is over, move down one sheet, set the next sheet to "1-3 2-5", and continue the match, moving down the sheets in order. [Example]

[0016] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a mark (15) is provided on the mark (14) of the U-shaped slide mechanism to indicate the position of the game. [Example]

[0017] In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, a hook (17) provided on the marker (16) of the slide mechanism is connected to the ring (13) with a string (18), and a mechanism for preventing the marker (16) from being lost is provided. [Example]

[0018] In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, protrusions (20) are provided on each of the sheets (1·5), (1·6), (1·7), (1·8), etc., and a fall prevention mechanism is provided to prevent the markers (19) from easily falling off. [Example]

[0019] In the embodiment shown in Figures 7 and 8, a protrusion (22) is provided on the inside of the marker (21) to hold the stack of sheets (9) of the battle random number table. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, a hole (23) is provided in the stack of sheets (9) of the battle random number table, and when the marker (21) is lowered all the way down, the protrusion (22) fits into the hole (23), providing an anti-fall mechanism to prevent it from easily slipping off. [Example]

[0020] In the embodiment shown in Figure 9, a spring (25) is provided inside the mark (24) of the slide mechanism to clamp the stack of sheets (9) of the battle random number table, so that the mark (24) of the slide mechanism can move with moderate resistance and does not easily shift. [Example]

[0021] In the embodiment shown in Figure 10, the upper and lower frames (27) of the through-hole (11) of the slide mechanism mark (26) are curved outward to narrow the width of the through-hole (11) and clamp the stack of sheets of the battle random number table from the side, providing appropriate resistance to prevent the mark (26) from easily shifting. [Example]

[0022] In the embodiment shown in Figure 11, the frame (29) below the through-hole (11) of the slide mechanism's mark (28) is curved inward to narrow the through-hole (11) and clamp the stack of sheets of the battle random number table, providing appropriate resistance to prevent the mark (28) from easily shifting. [Example]

[0023] The example in Figure 12 is a sheet of the battle random number table that lists the battle random number tables for different numbers of people, with (1·5) for 5 people, (1·6) for 6 people, (1·7) for 7 people, (1·8), (1·9), (1·10), etc. This is a reference diagram. There are various combinations for the battle random number table, so you are not limited to this combination table. [Industrial Applicability]

[0024] In doubles combinations such as tennis, badminton, and table tennis, By sliding the markers attached to the long, narrow match random number table sheet for each match, partner pairings and opponents are decided fairly, making the match order easy to understand, and it is a compact, easy-to-carry match table that anyone can use easily. By using the displayed doubles partner as the opponent, the chart can be used for singles matches, and can also be used for one-on-one games like shogi or go. For example, if the display in Figure 1 shows "1-2 3-4," players 1 and 2 play against each other, followed by a match between players 3 and 4. By shifting the display one level and displaying "1-3 2-5," players 1 and 3 play against players 2 and 5, and so on, it can also be used as a one-on-one match table. Also, in four-player games like mahjong, the display "1-2 3-4" allows players 1, 2, 3, and 4 to play against each other first, and then shifting the display one level to "1-3 2-5" allows players 1, 3, 2, and 5 to play against each other.
