Round Robin explained

Everyone plays against everyone, and the most points win.

How it works

Every player meets every other player once. A win normally gives 3 points, a draw 1, and a loss 0. The player with the most points wins.

Standings recalculate after every result

Points, wins, and tiebreakers update the moment a score is entered. No spreadsheet required.

How many matches you need

  • 4 players: 6 matches.
  • 6 players: 15 matches.
  • 8 players: 28 matches.
  • 10 players: 45 matches.

With ā€œDouble Round Robinā€, everyone meets twice, home and away. That doubles the number of matches.

When this format fits

  • You have a smaller group, such as a club night or a league.
  • Fairness matters more to you than speed.
  • With many players, the Swiss System is usually the better choice.
