HomeTools › Round Robin Generator

Round robin generator.

For pickleball, padel, tennis or badminton. Enter your players, courts and rounds, and we'll build a fair rotation — balanced games, varied partners and opponents, even byes — ready to print or share.

How it works

Fair play, automatically.

A good round robin keeps everyone moving and mixes up the matchups. This generator tracks how many games each person has played, who they've partnered with, and who they've faced — then builds each round to even all three out. When you have more players than court space, it rotates the byes so no one sits twice before everyone has sat once. None of that is sport-specific: it works the same for a padel club social, a tennis mixer, a badminton club night or pickleball open play.

Frequently asked questions

How does the round robin generator work?

Enter your players (a roster or just a number), how many courts you have, and how many rounds to play. The tool builds a rotation that balances how many games each person plays, varies partners and opponents, and spreads out byes evenly. You can print it or copy it to share.

Does this work for padel, tennis and badminton as well as pickleball?

Yes. A round robin is a scheduling problem, not a sport: the generator only needs to know how many players you have, how many courts, and whether you are playing doubles or singles. Rotating and fixed-partner doubles cover padel, tennis and badminton doubles exactly as they cover pickleball.

What formats are supported?

Three: rotating partners (a social mixer where you get a new partner most rounds), fixed partners (you keep the same partner all day), and singles (one-on-one). Rotating partners is the most popular for open play and club social sessions.

How many players can it handle?

Anywhere from 4 to 40 players. With more players than court space, the tool rotates who sits out so byes are shared as evenly as possible.

Is it free?

Yes — completely free, no login or email required. It runs entirely in your browser, so your roster never leaves your device.
