What is a round robin tournament?
In a round robin tournament, every team plays every other team. Nobody is knocked out, so every team gets the same number of matches.
Results go into a standings table. The team with the most points after the last round wins, and tiebreakers settle equal records.
A double round robin, also called home and away, repeats every pairing a second time with the sides swapped.
How does a round robin work?
- Count the teams. Each team plays n − 1 opponents, and the tournament has n × (n − 1) ÷ 2 matches in total.
- Split the matches into rounds. In each round, every team plays once, so the matches of a round can run at the same time.
- With an odd number of teams, one team rests in each round. That is a rest, not a win.
- Rotate the teams round after round. The circle method keeps one team fixed, turns the others one step and pairs the top row against the bottom row.
- Share the courts. If a round has more matches than courts, the round takes a second time slot.
