Know before you generate
How many matches will that be?
Big round robins grow fast. The generator shows match count, rounds and estimated duration before you commit — and suggests a better format when a full round robin is too long.

Questions organizers ask
Short answers. Longer ones live in the guides.
How many matches are in a round robin?
Each pair plays once, so n × (n − 1) ÷ 2 matches. 8 teams play 28 matches; 10 teams play 45; 16 teams play 120. A double round robin doubles that.
How many rounds does a round robin take?
With an even number of teams, n − 1 rounds (everyone plays every round). With an odd number, n rounds — one team has a bye each round.
How are byes handled with an odd number of teams?
The generator adds a “rest” slot that rotates, so every team sits out exactly once per cycle and never in consecutive rounds.
Can I schedule multiple courts and start times?
Yes. Turn on time planning to set courts, playing hours, match length, changeovers and minimum rest. The planner never double-books a court or a player, and tells you how to fix it if your window is too short.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes and no. Everything on your device — all formats, scoring, exports, the TV display and spectator links — is free with no account.
Where is my data stored?
In your browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded. Spectator links carry the tournament inside the link itself, and you can download a backup file anytime.
Can players see the schedule on their phones?
Yes. Share the spectator link: anyone can open it, pick their team to see just their matches, and add them to their calendar.
Which tie-breakers can I use?
Head-to-head, score difference, score for, fewest conceded, most wins, set difference, Buchholz and Sonneborn–Berger — in any order you choose.
