13 Team Round Robin Schedule

A 13 team round robin runs 13 rounds with 6 matches per round and 78 matches in total — every team plays every other team exactly once. Because 13 is an odd number, one team sits out each round, so each team gets exactly one bye.

How the 13 team schedule is built

The circle method pairs the 13 entrants across two rows, then holds one fixed and rotates the rest one position per round. After 13 rotations every pairing has happened once, which is why the total is 78 matches (13 × 12 ÷ 2).

How long does a 13 team round robin take?

At about 15 minutes per game to 11 points, 13 rounds take roughly 195 minutes, provided all 6 matches of a round run at once. With half the courts, double the estimate.
