When you have 6-8 teams and a single Saturday, round robin is the cleanest format. Every team plays every team once, standings determine the champion, and there's no bracket surgery.
When to use round robin
- 6-8 team tournaments
- Season-ending showcases
- JV round-up tournaments
- Coaches' clinics with scrimmage format
Scheduling logic
For 8 teams that's 28 matches. On 4 courts with 25-minute matches, that's a 7-round schedule — about 3 hours of play plus a 30-minute lunch.
Tiebreakers
- Record
- Head-to-head
- Point differential (capped)
- Points scored
