Round-Robin Tournament: How It Works and When to Use It
A round-robin tournament is a format where every participant plays against every other participant. There are no eliminations — everyone completes the same number of matches, and the final rankings are determined by accumulated points. It's the format used by the Premier League, La Liga, and most domestic sports leagues worldwide.
Round-robin is considered the fairest tournament format because a single bad match doesn't eliminate anyone. The participant with the best overall performance wins.
