Every round it looks for new partners and new opponents, so the same two people rarely team up twice. Sit-outs are spread as evenly as the numbers allow, and nobody sits out twice in a row when it can be avoided. A fair-play check under the schedule tells you in plain words what came out even and what couldn’t.

You can note up to three people a player would rather not partner with. It’s a request, not a rule: the scheduler honors it whenever the numbers allow, and the fair-play check tells you if it couldn’t.

Yes. Tap two names in a round to swap them, change which court a game is on, lock the rounds that have been played, and reshuffle one round or every unlocked round. Undo works for all of these.

If you know ahead of time, set a game limit for them when you make the schedule, and their games come first. On the day, choose Remove a player and pick “Had to leave” or “Didn’t come”.
