Doghouse Shuffles
The same queue, with a crueller rule. The pinned side scores side-outs to escape — and one lost rally sends the count back to zero.

Ranking points by placementScore at least one side-out and you earn at least one ranking point.
How the rounds run
Each round mixes the whole pool into fresh courts, and within a court players cycle on and off. When the round timer runs out, everyone is mixed again.
Fair by design
The queue always draws from the players with the least court time, so everybody plays about the same amount.
