Rules
Players or teams are split into groups. Inside a group everyone plays everyone once, and the standings decide the winner.
Schedule
A group of n teams plays n-1 rounds when n is even, and n rounds when n is odd. With rotating partners, in groups of 4 or 5 (and any 4k or 4k+1) every pair partners exactly once.
Byes
A group can have one bye. The bye rotates, so a different team or player sits out each round.
Ranking
The default order is wins, then point difference, then points won. Head-to-head can be added. Teams tied on wins are separated by results among the tied teams only.
About Round Robin
Round robin is the simplest fair format: nobody is eliminated and everyone plays everyone in their group. It suits clubs that want full courts and a clear ranking at the end.
Pick rotating partners to play with different partners each round, set teams to keep your partner, or singles for one against one. The organizer chooses the group layout, the score to play to, and the tie-break order.
