What is Round Robin Tournament?
A round-robin tournament is a sports competition where each player or
team competes against every other player or team; each contestant faces off
against the other contestant in turn. A round-robin tournament differs from an
elimination tournament in that participants are eliminated after a set number
of losses. The term round-robin comes from the French term ruban, which
means “ribbon.”
Each participant plays every other participant once in a single round-robin
schedule. When each participant plays the other twice, this is a double round-
robin. When all players play each other more than twice, the word is rarely
used. It is never used when one person plays others an uneven number of
times, for example, In sports such as tennis or billiards, which generally feature
knockout tournaments.
ROUND ROBIN FORMAT
Adding Teams to the Schedule
Each team will now be assigned a unique team number.
Place the names of each team in a hat and begin
drawing the teams one at a time, with the first team’s
name drawn being assigned “Team 1,” the second
team’s name chosen being assigned “Team 2,” and so
on.
Tournament Time
The competition has officially begun. Begin with round
one and complete all of the games before moving on
to round two. Continue doing so until all of the games
have been completed.
Keeping Track of Records
The team with the best record wins the event after all
games have been played. Another frequent method is
to seed a single or double elimination bracket based
on the results of the round-robin play.
ROUND ROBIN
FORMULAS
p = no. of participants
G = (p(p-1))/2
**Table and Win-Loss Record
Example:
p=4
G = (4(4 – 1)) / 2
= (4(3)) / 2
= 12 / 2
=6

Tie Breaker
When doing the tie-breaker, only involved teams are supposed to
be compared or evaluated with each other. Disregard their scores
against teams not involved in the tie.
For two tied participants in the W-L standings, use the win over-the-
other method.
For three or more tied participants
in the W-L standings, use this
formula. The higher the value after
the computation, the higher the
rank is. Total Points scored / Total
Points allowed.

SETTING UP
DIVISIONS
If there are many p = 16 p = 16
participants in your G = (16(15)) / 2 2 divisions (8 teams per division)
tournament on you are G = 120 G = ((8(7)) / 2) * 2
using the round robin G = 56
tournament type, you may
want to divide the p = 16
participants into different 4 divisions (4 teams per division)
divisions (groups) and they G = ((4(3)) / 2) * 4
play within their division G = 24
before they can play with the
other division
