Frequently Asked Questions

What is the formula for single round robin games?
Single round robin uses N x (N-1) / 2, where N is total teams.
How is double round robin different?
Double round robin means each matchup happens twice, so total games are N x (N-1).
How many weeks should I plan for one game per team each week?
Use N-1 weeks for even team counts and N weeks for odd team counts in single round robin.
What if we have an odd number of teams?
One team is off each round. If you want that visible, add one extra team named BYE WEEK.
