Round Robin Tournaments


The following table has been designed to assist tournament organizers when conducting round-robin tournaments consisting of between five and fourteen competitors.

Note that when there is an odd number of competitors, "x" represents the bye. If there is an even number of players, "x" is the last-numbered player. Also, the first-mentioned number starts the game, if balanced starts are to apply. Transposition of players' names into numbers should be done by ballot.
