Standings
How the table sorts itself.
Win percentage first. When two teams are level, TourneyPage goes down the list: head-to-head, then point differential, then points allowed. A tie in a game is allowed and counts for both teams. The organizer can put the tiebreakers in a different order, and the standings show which one placed a team when it mattered.
With 6 teams every team plays in every round: 3 games a round for 5 rounds, and nobody waits a round.
How long it takes
Roughly how long a 6-team round robin runs.
About 6 hours 40 minutes. 15 games in 8 rounds of play across 2 fields.
Arithmetic, not a schedule: it ignores breaks and assumes every field stays busy. In TourneyPage you type the actual times and courts, and they show on the page.

Questions
Questions about a 6-team round robin.
How many games are in a 6 team round robin?
15: every pair of teams meets once, so 6 teams make 6 × 5 ÷ 2 = 15 games. Each team plays 5.
How many rounds does it take?
5. With an even number of teams every team plays every round: 3 games a round for 5 rounds. The rotation above is the standard one, so no team plays twice in a round.
How are ties in the standings broken?
By win percentage first, then head-to-head, then point differential, then points allowed: the order TourneyPage uses for sports scored in points. Sports scored in sets, like volleyball and pickleball, use set percentage in place of point differential. The organizer can reorder the tiebreakers, and a game is allowed to end in a tie.
How long does a 6 team round robin take?
About 6 hours 40 minutes with 15 games at 50 minutes each on 2 fields. Change the game length and the number of fields above to match your event. TourneyPage doesn't schedule the games for you; you type the times and courts you decide on, and they show on the page.
Can I print this schedule or run it live?
Both. The PDF is free, with no sign-up. "Run this round robin live" opens the TourneyPage builder with pool play already chosen; pick one pool for a plain round robin, add the team names, and the standings and schedule update as scores come in. Free to build and preview, $29 once to publish.
