Fixtures for 5 teams

A round-robin for 5 teams is 10 games over 5 rounds, 2 at a time. With an odd number, one team rests in each round, a different one every time. Type your team names over the sample and the schedule is yours.

How many times do they meet?

5 rounds, 10 games in all, and one team rests each round because the number is odd.

The numbers for 5 teams

Everyone plays everyone, so each team has 4 games.

  • Playing once: 10 games over 5 rounds.
  • Home and away: 20 games over 10 rounds, 8 games each.
  • Pitches needed to play a round at once: 2.
  • Rest rounds: each team sits out 1 round (5 is odd).

Fitting it into a day or a season

5 rounds fits comfortably into one session: with short games and a few minutes between them, a 5-team round-robin is an afternoon or an evening.
