Pickleball round robin questions
How many rounds for 8 players on 2 courts?
Seven. With 8 players on 2 courts everyone partners every other player exactly once in 7 rounds, and nobody sits out.
What if the number of players isn't a multiple of four?
The extra players sit out each round in turn: whoever has sat out least goes next, so nobody sits out twice before everyone else has had a turn.
Will I get the same partner twice?
Only when it can't be avoided. The generator tries many line-ups each round and keeps the one with the fewest repeated partners, then the fewest repeated opponents. The Repeat partners figure shows how many there are.
Can it keep score and a live table?
This free tool makes the schedule. The Tournament Generator app runs the night: it records scores, updates the table after every game and lets players follow on a live link.
