9 team round robin: rotation and duration

9 is an odd number, so one team rests in each round while the other 8 play 4 matches. The rotation takes 9 rounds, and every team rests once.

With 4 courts and 30 minutes per match, the 9 rounds take about 4 h 30. On a single court, all 36 matches take about 18 h.

A double round robin doubles it to 72 matches. Tick the home and away box above to see it.
