Round Robin (sports)

Round Robin in sports is a tournament format where each team or player competes against every other participant exactly once. It’s a fair system that ensures all competitors face similar levels of challenge. Points or wins are tallied throughout the matches, and the overall rankings are determined based on performance. This format provides a comprehensive view of each participant’s skill level and reduces the impact of luck. It is commonly used in group stages of tournaments because it promotes equal opportunity, transparency, and a clear ranking of competitors before progressing to knockout rounds or finals.
