Four teams in a round robin is six games and a clean answer to "who is actually best" — everyone plays everyone, no bracket luck involved.
The math is worth knowing before you commit: 4 teams produce exactly 6 games, because each of the 4 teams plays 3 opponents and every game involves two teams. Across 3 rounds, that is 2 games per round — so the number of tables, courts or boards you have decides how long each round takes.
4 is even, so nobody ever rests: every round has 2 games running in parallel, and the season takes exactly 3 rounds.
The pairing method is the classic circle method: team 1 stays fixed while every other team rotates one seat per round, so each round pairs each team with a brand-new opponent and nobody ever repeats a matchup. You never need to understand this to use the sheet — but it is why the schedule is perfectly balanced, and why chess and league organizers have trusted it for over a century.
Round robin rewards consistency the way elimination brackets reward peak performance: one bad game never ends a season, and the standings at the end reflect every matchup played, not one lucky run. If you want both, run this schedule as a group stage and feed the top finishers into a single or double elimination bracket.
A schedule is only half the system — you also need a scoring rule before play starts. The common choices are two points for a win and one for a draw (chess and soccer style), or a simple win-count table for sports without draws. Write the rule on the bottom of the printed sheet so every captain holds the same copy of it, and agree on the tiebreaker — head-to-head result first, then point differential, is the standard order.
Using the sheet is deliberately simple: type the team names into the roster and every round updates in place, or print it blank and fill names in after a live draw. The round numbers are fixed, so you can also write dates or week numbers beside them and turn the schedule into a season calendar. Nothing you type is uploaded anywhere — the names live in this browser tab and in the link you choose to share.
Perfect for a game night with two couples, a four-squad skills competition, or a group stage feeding a final. Three rounds, two games per round, and the table tells you exactly who meets whom and when.
Decide the tiebreaker before round one: head-to-head, point differential, or a playoff game. With only six games, ties at the top are common, and a written rule saves an argument when the last round ends.
Type the team names into the roster on the left and every round updates in place — or print the blank sheet and fill names in by hand after a draw. The table prints on a single landscape page, one row per round, with the bye written in where it falls.
6. Each of the 4 teams plays 3 opponents once, and 4 × 3 ÷ 2 = 6 total games, spread over 3 rounds.
3. An even number of teams needs one fewer round than the team count, and every team plays in every round.
Nothing — 4 is even, so there are no byes. Every team plays exactly one game in each of the 3 rounds.
This schedule is a single round robin: every pair of teams meets exactly once. A home-and-away season is simply the same schedule played twice with venues swapped — print two copies and label them "first half" and "second half".
