How many rounds do I need for a round robin?

For doubles pickleball, you typically need (n-1) rounds where n is the number of players, divided by how many courts you have. With 12 players and 3 courts, you'd need about 4-5 rounds for everyone to play multiple games.

What if I have an odd number of players?

With an odd number, one player sits out each round. The generator handles this automatically by rotating who sits out so everyone gets equal playing time.

How long should each game be in a round robin?

Most round robin games are 10-15 minutes or played to 11 points (win by 2). Timed games work better for keeping the schedule moving.

Should I balance teams by skill level?

For social play, random pairings work fine. For competitive round robins, consider pairing higher and lower skilled players together so teams are balanced.
