The complete eight-team matchup table.
Each pairing appears once. Home/away labels alternate; in neutral-court sports they simply identify the two sides.
| Round | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Match 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Team 1 vs Team 8 | Team 2 vs Team 7 | Team 3 vs Team 6 | Team 4 vs Team 5 |
| 2 | Team 2 vs Team 1 | Team 8 vs Team 3 | Team 7 vs Team 4 | Team 6 vs Team 5 |
| 3 | Team 1 vs Team 3 | Team 4 vs Team 2 | Team 5 vs Team 8 | Team 6 vs Team 7 |
| 4 | Team 4 vs Team 1 | Team 3 vs Team 5 | Team 2 vs Team 6 | Team 8 vs Team 7 |
| 5 | Team 1 vs Team 5 | Team 6 vs Team 4 | Team 7 vs Team 3 | Team 8 vs Team 2 |
| 6 | Team 6 vs Team 1 | Team 5 vs Team 7 | Team 4 vs Team 8 | Team 3 vs Team 2 |
| 7 | Team 1 vs Team 7 | Team 8 vs Team 6 | Team 2 vs Team 5 | Team 3 vs Team 4 |
The total is 8 × 7 ÷ 2 = 28 matches. With four courts, all four matches in a round can start together. With two courts, each round needs two playing waves.
Seven rounds does not always mean seven time slots.
| Courts | Waves per round | Total waves | Playing time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 28 | 14 hours |
| 2 | 2 | 14 | 7 hours |
| 4 | 1 | 7 | 3 hours 30 minutes |
Keep rounds in sequence and add time for rest, check-in, and overruns. If 28 matches do not fit, two pools of four followed by a four-team playoff need 12 pool matches plus 3 playoff matches. An eight-team knockout needs seven matches but guarantees only one game per team.
Use the format and court-time calculator to compare your event’s assumptions. For fixed doubles, eight teams means sixteen players.
Questions before you start?
How many games are in an 8-team round robin?
A single round robin has 28 matches. Each of the eight teams plays seven opponents once. The formula is 8 × 7 ÷ 2; dividing by two avoids counting each match twice.
How many rounds does an 8-team round robin need?
Seven rounds, with four matches per round. On fewer than four courts, split each round into multiple playing waves. Round count and time-slot count are different.
Does an 8-team round robin have byes?
No. An even field allows every team to play once in each round. If a team withdraws and you change the count to seven, each round has one bye and every team sits out once.
How does an 8-team double round robin differ?
Each pairing happens twice, with home and away reversed on the second pass. That gives 56 matches, 14 rounds, and 14 games per team.
Can I print or download the schedule?
Yes. Edit the names and court count, then print, copy, or download CSV without an account. The export is a snapshot; create a live round robin separately for score tracking and a public tournament hub.
