What is round robin?
In a round robin tournament, all participants play each other. Final ranking is based on total results across all games, not one elimination path.
This format is best when fairness matters more than speed. It is ideal for 4 to 8 teams, especially for group stages before moving top teams into knockout brackets.

Round robin match count
| Teams | Matches (single round) | Matches (double round) |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 6 | 12 |
| 5 | 10 | 20 |
| 6 | 15 | 30 |
| 7 | 21 | 42 |
| 8 | 28 | 56 |
Formula: n × (n - 1) ÷ 2 (single) / n × (n - 1) (double).
Above 8 teams, match count grows quickly. For larger events, split into groups and then run a knockout stage.
