Round Robin Tournaments

About the Course

Round-Robin tournaments are designed to allow for maximum participation. A well-designed Round-Robin tournament supports participation in a number of games, rather than having teams eliminated after a loss. In this course, you will learn when to use round-robin tournaments, how to split a tournament into separate leagues, and how to choose the size of each league. You will also complete worksheets that can be printed and kept as a reference for future planning needs.
