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. Nothing you type leaves your device.

- 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.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
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.
