The shape of a 12-team round robin
12 teams make 66 pairings. With 12 teams everyone plays every round: 6 games at a time, 11 rounds.
Round 1 is 1 v 12, 2 v 11, 10 v 3, 4 v 9, 8 v 5, 6 v 7.
Who plays whom, and when
The top teams meet 1 v 2 in round 7, 1 v 3 in round 2 and 2 v 3 in round 8. The last round is 11 v 12, 1 v 10, 9 v 2, 3 v 8, 7 v 4, 5 v 6.
Home games: teams 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 have 6 and the rest have 5. Home and away alternate round to round.
How long it takes
At 30 minutes a game, 66 games take 33 h of court time. A round has 6 games, so 6 courts play a round together and finish in 5 h 30 min; on 3 courts it takes 11 h. Rank teams as set out in the tiebreaker guide.
If your field changes
Dropping to 11 teams gives 11 fewer games, in the same number of rounds. Teams drop out the week before more often than they join, so print one sheet for the next size down.
