About Round Robin Generator
A round robin is a tournament format in which every team or player meets every other one once. This generator takes 3 to 40 names and builds the rounds with the circle method: one team stays in place while the rest rotate each round. With an odd number of teams, one team has a bye in every round. The order follows your list, and it does not assign home sides, dates, or venues.

Questions about Round Robin Generator
How many rounds and matches will there be?
With an even number of teams there are one fewer rounds than teams, and with an odd number there are as many rounds as teams. The total number of matches is n × (n − 1) ÷ 2, so 6 teams play 15 matches.
Is the schedule random?
No. The same list always gives the same schedule, because pairings are built from the order you enter. To get a different draw, change the order of the names before generating, for example with a list shuffler.
