## Round robin generator

Enter teams or players and get a schedule where everyone plays everyone. Odd numbers get a fair bye rotation, home and away are balanced, and games are spread across as many courts or fields as you have.

Free, no sign-up, works in the browser and prints cleanly.

## How to make a round robin schedule

- 1. Type the teams or players, one per line.
- 2. Set how many courts or fields you have, and choose single or double round robin.
- 3. Press Generate schedule. Each round lists the matchups, the court, and who has a bye.
- 4. Print it, or download a CSV to open in a spreadsheet or import into your schedule.

## How a round robin works

In a round robin every team plays every other team once. With an even number of teams that takes one fewer round than there are teams: 8 teams play 7 rounds of 4 games. With an odd number, one team sits out each round, so 7 teams play 7 rounds of 3 games and each team gets exactly one bye.

This generator uses the circle method: one team stays put and the rest rotate a spot each round. It guarantees no repeat matchups and nobody plays twice in a round.

## Courts, fields and waves

Tell the generator how many courts or fields you have and it numbers each game's court. If a round has more games than courts, the extras go to a second wave on the same courts.

A double round robin repeats the schedule with home and away swapped, which suits leagues that play a full season.

## Frequently asked questions

- Is the round robin generator free? Yes. It runs in your browser with no sign-up, and you can print or export as many schedules as you need.
- How many rounds are in a round robin? One fewer than the number of teams when that's even (10 teams play 9 rounds), or the same as the number of teams when it's odd, because each round has a bye.
- How many games are in a round robin? n × (n − 1) ÷ 2 for n teams. Six teams play 15 games; ten teams play 45. A double round robin doubles that.
- Can I use it for pickleball or individual players? Yes. Enter players or fixed pairs instead of teams. Set the number of courts and each round tells everyone where to go.
- Can I put the schedule into BenchApp? Yes. Download the CSV, add dates and times, and import it with BenchApp's schedule import. Every player then gets the schedule, RSVP requests and reminders.
