Some court counts take longer than one session, so we don’t print them. Instead, split into two pools of 6 and 6 teams, each with its own 6-team round robin on half the courts, then play the pool winners off.

How the math works

Rounds

12 teams fill 6 courts exactly, so the classic circle method finishes in 11 rounds with nobody sitting out.

Courts

Fewer courts means more rounds: 6 courts → 11 rounds, 5 courts → 14 rounds, 4 courts → 17 rounds, 3 courts → 22 rounds, 2 courts → 33 rounds, 1 court → 66 rounds. The games are the same; they are just spread out.

Time estimate

Rally scoring to 11 takes about 12 minutes plus 2 to rotate. 11 rounds ≈ 2h 34m. Side-out scoring adds about 30%.

12-team round robin: common questions

How many games are in a 12-team round robin?

66 games in total. Each team plays the other 11 teams once, so every team plays 11 games.

How many rounds for 12 teams on 6 courts?

11 rounds, about 2h 34m with rally scoring to 11. Every team plays every round.

How many rounds for 12 teams on 5 courts?

How are ties broken?

For team round robins the usual order is head-to-head result first, then point differential across all games. Announce it before the first serve.

What if a team has to leave early?

Remove their results from the standings so every remaining team is compared on the same opponents. In the generator, remove the players and the remaining rounds rebuild.
