How does a 5 Team Round Robin Tournament work?
In a 5 team round robin tournament, each team plays against every other team exactly once. The format ensures that each team has a fair opportunity to compete against all other teams.
Number of Matches:
The 5 team round robin schedule is made up of 5 rounds. Each team will play a total of 4 games and there will be a total of 10 games played in the entire tournament.
Byes:
Since there is an odd number of teams, in each round, there will be one team that doesn't have an opponent. This team is said to have a "bye" for that round..
Tiebreakers (if necessary):
When playing a bracket style tournament, there must always be a winner declared so they can move forward in the bracket. This is not the case with round robin tournaments. It is not uncommon for a round robin match to be allowed to end in a tie. This is completely up to the tournament director, but all tie-breaker rules should be made known before the tournament begins.
Using our Printable Schedule:
Start by randomly drawing the team names and placing them beside the numbers in the column labeled "Team". Start the tournament with Round 1 and keep a tally of wins and losses. The team with the best record after all rounds are complete will be the champion.
