Frequently Asked Questions
What is a round robin in pickleball?+
A round robin is a tournament format where every player (or team) plays against every other player at least once. In pickleball, this is the most common format for open play sessions, mixers, and social events because everyone gets to play multiple games.
How does a doubles mixer round robin work?+
In a doubles mixer, partners rotate each round so you play with a different partner every time. This maximizes the social aspect — you get to play with and against everyone in your group. Our generator optimizes these pairings automatically.
How many rounds do I need?+
For singles, you need N-1 rounds where N is your player count. For doubles mixer, we recommend at least as many rounds as you have players to ensure good partner diversity. Our generator calculates the optimal number automatically.
What if I have an odd number of players?+
The generator handles odd numbers automatically by assigning byes. Each round, one player will sit out while others play. Byes rotate so everyone sits out roughly the same amount.
