FAQ
How many games are in a 3-team round robin?
3 games. Each of the 3 teams plays the other 2 once, and every game involves two teams: 3 × 2 ÷ 2 = 3. A double round robin (home and away) is 6 games.
How many rounds does a 3-team round robin take?
3 rounds. Because 3 is odd, one team rests each round, so you need one more round than games per team.
How long does a 3-team round robin take?
With 1 court a whole round plays at once. On one court with 20-minute games it’s about 1 h of play; on two courts about 1 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.
