FAQ

How many games are in a 13-team round robin?

78 games. Each of the 13 teams plays the other 12 once, and every game involves two teams: 13 × 12 ÷ 2 = 78. A double round robin (home and away) is 156 games.

How many rounds does a 13-team round robin take?

13 rounds. Because 13 is odd, one team rests each round, so you need one more round than games per team.

How long does a 13-team round robin take?

With 6 courts a whole round plays at once. On one court with 20-minute games it’s about 26 h of play; on two courts about 13 h, before changeovers and breaks.

Does the team with the bye get points?

No. In a round robin every team rests the same number of times, so nobody gains from a bye. Only Swiss events score byes as wins.
