Round Robin

Everyone meets everyone once over the Series — one round per event — and a Series table ranks it all.

  1. Step 1. Each event is one round of the schedule. Over the Series, every player (or pair) meets every other one once.

  2. Step 2. Choose how you play it: Singles, Doubles with fixed pairs, or Doubles with rotating partners — you partner with every player once. Some clubs call that last one Crazy Eights.

  3. Step 3. The Series table ranks everyone on their results across the whole schedule.

  4. Step 4. The Series length must fit the schedule exactly: with 8 players or pairs you need 7 rounds, so 7 or 14 events. The app checks this before you publish.
