Use this page when you need a tournament schedule that is easier to trust than a hand-built spreadsheet. Enter participants, choose the format, set courts and timing, then generate a schedule you can review, print, copy, or export.
Build the rotation
Enter one team or player per line, choose the format that matches your event, then click Generate schedule. Use manual seeding when the order already matters. Use shuffle only when you want a random starting order. The schedule appears with rounds, matchups, court or venue assignment, and time slots.
Review rounds, byes, and rest
Start with a rough participant list, generate once, then look for practical problems: too many matches on one court, a bye at the wrong time, top seeds meeting too early, or a schedule that runs past your venue booking. Adjust inputs and generate again before printing.
Print or export the round robin schedule
Use Copy when you need to paste the schedule into chat or email. Use CSV when you want to edit it in Excel or Google Sheets. Use Print when you need a clipboard copy, wall sheet, or registration-desk version.
Tournament Schedule Maker questions organizers ask
How many rounds will this make? Even team counts usually need n - 1 rounds. Odd team counts need n rounds because one participant has a bye each round.
Why do I see a bye? A bye appears when the participant count is odd. Review whether the bye rotates evenly before publishing.
What should I check first? Check Round 1 and Round 2 for duplicate matchups, repeated byes, and court pressure. Problems usually show up early.
How to read the generated output
The preview above shows the shape of a round robin output: rounds, matchups, courts, times, and a summary of byes or rest pressure. After entering your own teams, scan Round 1 and Round 2 first; duplicate matchups or uneven byes are easiest to catch there.
Final review before you publish
Run this review before you share the output:
- Format: The bracket should make seed order, byes, and the path to the final easy to understand.
- Names: Remove duplicates and fix spelling before generating the final copy.
- Venue: Check court count, start time, match length, breaks, and back-to-back matches.
- Publishing: Print once or export CSV and scan the table before sending it to players.
