What do you mean by league match or round robin tournament? ›

A round-robin tournament or all-play-all tournament is a competition format in which each contestant meets every other participant, usually in turn. A round-robin contrasts with an elimination tournament, wherein participants are eliminated after a certain number of wins or losses.

A round-robin tournament (sometimes known as an all-play-all tournament) is a competition in which each contender encounters the other participant in turn. A round-robin tournament differs from an elimination tournament in that competitors are removed after a certain number of defeats.

Basic Round-Robin Format

The most basic format for a round robin is to set up a schedule where each player plays against every other player once in a single round. The player with the most wins over other players wins the tournament. A round robin can work with as few as three players.

A league tournament is a competition where multiple teams or individuals compete against each other in a series of matches or games over a period of time.

Because every team has to play each other once in a Round Robin bracket, the number of matches can grow really quickly! With 4 participants, your bracket will have 6 matches to play. With 10 participants, your bracket will have 45 matches to play. With 20 participants, your bracket will have 190 matches to play.

The champion in a round-robin tournament is the contestant that wins the most games, except when draws are possible.

Round robin parlays offer a bigger top payout and a better chance to mitigate losses. But it's not always the top choice. A $100 bet on a three-team point spread parlay wager can win you roughly $600. A $100 wager on a three-team round robin costs you $300, but the payout is nearly $1,100.

You still break even with a round robin bet, even if one leg fails. Of course, if two teams do not cover, you will lose every parlay in your round robin bet.

Compared to a parlay wager where all three teams must win to win the wager, the round robin above only needs two of the three teams to win to receive back winnings.

Some people might prefer round robin bets to standard parlays because they offer more betting insurance. Every leg needs to be correct in a parlay, but a round robin can still win you some money even if one or multiple legs don't hit.

"The term round-robin is derived from the French term 'ruban', meaning 'ribbon'. Over a long period of time, the term was corrupted and idiomized to 'robin'."

The Round-Robin schedule is based on the number of teams in the group and is illustrated by the diagrams below. For example, if there are 4 teams in a group, each team (1, 2, 3, 4) will play 3 matches—one match against each of the other 3 teams. The referees will be given a schedule of the round-robin matches.

A round robin is an arrangement of choosing all elements in a group equally in some rational order, usually from the top to the bottom of a list and then starting again at the top of the list and so on.

In a round-robin tournament, each team plays against every other team in the tournament. The scoring system in a round-robin tournament typically works as follows: Win: The team that wins a match is awarded 3 points. Draw : If a match ends in a draw, each team is awarded 1 point.

In a round-robin tournament with n teams, there are n*(n-1)/2 games played. So, the total number of outcomes is: 2^(n*(n-1)/2). For n=6 teams, this is: 2^(6*5)/2 = 2^15. This is the easiest outcome to calculate.
