Round Robin

A tournament format where every player or team competes against every other participant, ensuring comprehensive head-to-head competition throughout the event. Round robin formats are popular in team competitions, member tournaments, and professional events where organizers want to guarantee multiple playing opportunities for all participants. This format eliminates early elimination and provides extensive competitive experience, making it ideal for skill development and fair competition assessment. Round robin tournaments often conclude with playoffs among top performers or use cumulative scoring to determine winners.
