Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fastest way to make a round robin template?
Generate pairings first, then map the output into your preferred sheet format. That removes most manual error risk.
Do I need separate templates for each sport?
Usually no. The round robin structure is sport-agnostic; only time slots and venues typically change.
How do odd-team leagues fit into a round robin template?
Each round has one idle team. You can show this clearly by adding a placeholder team named BYE WEEK.
Can I export this format?
Yes. CSV/PDF exports work well for template-based admin workflows.
