How to use Round-Robin Fixture Scheduler
- Enter one distinct entrant and venue name per line.
- Leave time-window labels blank for numbered slots, or provide enough labels for every slot in one round.
- Build the schedule and review the pair count, byes and venue assignments before downloading.
Example: Round-Robin Fixture Scheduler
Build all-pairs fixtures from entered entrants, with numbered rounds, venue slots and an optional shuffled order.
You add
Entrants: Ada
Ben
Cleo
Dev
Eve
Finn
Venues: Court 1
Court 2
Window labels for each round (optional): (blank)
Shuffle the entrant order: off
You get
15 matches over 5 rounds for 6 entrants, spread over 2 venues.
Options
- Round slots
- Window labels repeat within each round. They are labels for organizing rounds, not global dates or a calendar reservation.
- Entrant order
- Keep the entered order for a repeatable schedule or select a fresh shuffle. This does not optimize home-away balance or recovery time.
Supported inputs and limits
Circle-method fixtures with finite entrants, venues and per-round windows. No actual date scheduling, venue booking, sport rules, official color allocation or optimal rest claim. 2 to 32 distinct entrants, up to 8 venues and 16 window labels reused in every round. PDF text uses the supported built-in font character set; unsupported characters are refused rather than silently replaced.

A round needs its own place on a calendar
Every unordered pair meets once. Odd fields include a bye so each entrant has one round off. Assign actual dates and durations separately, and allow suitable breaks between rounds; the page does not know travel times, venue opening hours or entrant availability.
