Example: the results grid filled in

  1. In round 1, Court Jesters (team 2) beat Net Gains (team 3) 21-19.
  2. Go to Court Jesters' row and find column 3: write 21-19 (highlighted in green below). Then go to Net Gains' row, column 2, and write the same game from their side: 19-21. Each team's own points always come first in its row.
  3. At the end, count each row's wins and losses. Each team has 2 games, so W + L = 2. Rank by wins; when teams are tied, use your tiebreaker (here, point differential). Court Jesters finished first at 2-0.

How a 3 team round robin works

In a 3 team round robin, every team plays every other team once. That's 2 games for each team and 3 games in all, spread over 3 rounds with 1 game per round.

With an odd number of teams, one team sits out each round. Each team has exactly one bye. If you'd rather nobody sits, add a practice team or schedule the free team as a referee or scorekeeper for that round.

For a weekly league, each round is one week: 3 rounds is a 3 week season. For a one-day event, play the rounds in order. If you have fewer than 1 court, play each round's games in the order listed before starting the next round.

Want each team to play everyone twice? Play the whole schedule again with the teams swapped, for 6 rounds and 6 games. The second page of the PDF is a results grid with a team list, so you can record every score and add up wins and losses for standings.

Common questions

How many games are in a 3 team round robin?

3 games. Each team plays 2, and every game involves two teams, so it's 3 × 2 ÷ 2 = 3.

How many rounds or weeks does it take?

3 rounds. With 3 teams, one team has a bye each round, so it takes 3 rounds, not 2.

How many courts or fields do I need?

1 to play a whole round at once. With fewer, play the round's games one after another; the schedule still works, it just takes longer.

How do I break ties in the standings?

Most leagues use head-to-head result first, then point differential, then points allowed. Decide before the season starts and print it with the schedule.
