## Frequently Asked Questions

### What does round robin mean?

A format where every entrant plays every other entrant exactly once, rather than being eliminated after a loss. The standings table, not a bracket, decides the winner.

### How many rounds and matches does a round robin need?

An even number of entrants needs n minus 1 rounds, an odd number needs n rounds because one entrant rests each round. The total number of matches is n times n minus 1, divided by 2.

### How does the schedule handle an odd number of entrants?

One entrant sits out, or has a bye, each round. The schedule rotates who rests so everyone gets the same number of byes by the end.

### How are standings ranked?

By points first, then by the head to head result between tied entrants, then by total wins.

### Can I record draws?

Yes. Turn draws on in settings and set how many points a draw is worth. They are off by default so every match needs a winner.

### What is a double round robin?

Every entrant plays every other entrant twice, once at home and once away, doubling the number of fixtures and matches.

### Round robin or bracket, which should I use?

Choose round robin when you want every entrant to get a fair number of games and the best overall record to win. Choose a bracket when you want a quick knockout that ends with one match.

### Can I print or export the schedule?

Yes. Export the fixtures and the standings table as a CSV file at any point in the tournament.
