Generate round robin scheduleHow the round robin algorithm works
In a round robin tournament every participant plays against every other participant exactly once. The total number of matches grows as n × (n−1) / 2 — for 8 players that is 28 matches across 7 rounds.
HoneyCup uses the classic circle method: one participant is fixed at position 0, the rest rotate clockwise after each round. The pairing is mathematically balanced — no one waits more than one round between matches, and the schedule is identical for the same N regardless of who registers first.
Matches per round robin size
Use the table to estimate how long a round robin will take. Allow 15–25 minutes per match for racquet sports, 5–10 minutes for table tennis, and 30–60 minutes for chess.
