How Round Robin Play Works

Round robin play provides a structured rotational format of play for any number of players (minimum of 8). Round robin play is a tool used to help organize play.

While a true round robin involves each player playing every other player through the full rotation, due to the size of some round robin groups and the time constraints to play the session, this may not always happen.

  • You do not need a partner
  • You need to arrive at least 10 minutes early so we can start on time
  • It is preferred you stay for the whole session, unless there are spare players to cover you
  • The number of courts to be used will depend on how many players are signed up
  • There may be a cap on players allowed to sign up, depending on court availability
  • Round robin sheets include 6-7 games, which should be able to be completed in the assigned allotment of time
  • We will time games for 12 or 15 minutes
  • Games are played to 11 points and may be played to 9 points
  • Once games are complete help pack up before leaving if your session is the last one of the day

If the number of players is too large to use the round robin sheets, the Round Robin Captains can use the paddle rack system or an APP on their phone to organize play.
