How Scoreholio Manages Round Robin Scheduling

Unlike traditional Round Robin formats that generate a fixed schedule, Scoreholio dynamically assigns matches to maximize court usage. Instead of pre-determined matchups, Scoreholio prioritizes efficiency by continuously filling open courts.

How It Works:

  • When a team finishes a match, they move to the bottom of the Coming Up section.

  • Teams at the top of the Coming Up section are assigned to the next available court.

  • Scoreholio ensures teams don’t play each other twice.

Optimizing Your Tournament Setup

To use Scoreholio’s Round Robin effectively, you must have more teams than courts. Unlike traditional methods where 3 courts mean invite 6 teams, Scoreholio allows more teams to participate without extending the tournament duration.

Another key advantage is the ability to set a specific number of rounds for each team. Once a team completes their assigned rounds, they automatically move to the Finished/Not Playing section. This is different from traditional Round Robin formats, where every team must play every other team once, which can significantly extend the tournament length.

If you have the same number of teams as courts, a is a better option to ensure smooth gameplay.

Setting # of Rounds

With Scoreholio's Round Robin format, you set how many rounds you want players to play before going into a finished/not playing section. We have an entire blog section dedicated to how to set rounds here:

To break it down quickly, remember these rules:

  1. 4 is Your Friend: If you run four games, you’ll always be golden.(Especially for )

  2. Odd + Odd = Bad: Don’t run an odd # of games and an odd # of teams.

Setting # of Courts

You can check out the same blog from above for more info. To break it down, just know it is best to have at least 3 people or teams NOT playing at a given time. Scoreholio will ALWAYS fill a court that is open if it can. To prevent players from just playing back to back to back on the same court, have players or teams in the comping up section.
