A facilitator is running a ninety-minute adult writing workshop for twelve registered community members. The participants already know the event rules and have agreed to short peer conversations. The organizer wants four different partners per person without maintaining a live spreadsheet or collecting another set of profiles.
Before the doors open
The facilitator pastes twelve preferred display names, adds the title “Draft feedback rounds,” chooses four rounds, and leaves the optional note limited to the room and prompt reminder. The computed schedule has six pairs per round and no byes. The manager link is copied into the facilitator's private event notes. The separate participant link and its adjacent QR code are placed on one slide visible only in the workshop room. No public post contains either capability.
During the four live rounds
Each participant opens the page, selects their own name, and sees the current partner in the strongest text. The full current board below helps people locate each other. After ten minutes the facilitator gives a verbal warning, waits for conversations to finish, and presses Next round. One transition is advanced too early. The facilitator immediately moves back to the previous round, explains the correction, then advances once everyone is ready. Pairings stay stable because the schedule cannot be regenerated after start.
After the activity
The facilitator closes the event before the group reflection so nobody mistakes the last pairing for another active round. Feedback notes remain with participants; PairRounds never collected the drafts, comments, ratings, or contact details. The QR slide is removed from the presentation. After the organizer confirms that no follow-up round is needed, the event is permanently deleted. The title, note, names, generated pairs, activity entries, and capability hashes are removed together instead of becoming a lasting attendance record.
