Round robin — tennis guide

A small field where every player or fixed pair should meet every other entrant.

PAHANDUS editorial team28-09-2026

Who can play?

At least 3 entrants: individual players in singles, fixed pairs in doubles. Available disciplines: singles, doubles. Setup checks additional roster and court constraints before starting.

How it works

  • Choose singles or doubles; confirm fixed pairs for doubles.
  • The schedule places every matchup onto the available courts.
  • The winner comes from standings and chosen tiebreakers, not a separate final.

A practical example

Six entrants means fifteen matches, five per entrant. Two courts require at least eight time slots; the actual schedule may be longer.

Scoring and time

The match score and tournament points are different. Check the selected scoring profile and ranking rules before starting. Where match points are used, 3/2/1 means win/draw/loss; 2/1/0 works the same way with different values. Knockout qualification still requires a winner.

Before you start

Match count grows quickly: n entrants need n×(n−1)/2 matches. Consider groups for larger fields.

Confirm the venue, actual courts, names, score rules and schedule. Share the player link or QR; keep organiser access private.
