Pickleball Round Robin for 5 Players
Five players run on a single court with one player resting each round. The rest rotates so nobody sits out twice before everyone has sat once.

How many rounds do 5 players need for a round robin?
With 1 court we suggest 5 rounds, which is what the schedule below uses. Running about 5 rounds lets the byes cycle through everyone fairly. You can set any number of rounds in the live generator.
How do byes work with 5 players?
1 player rests each round because 4 of the 5 players are on the 1 court. The schedule hands byes to whoever has sat out the least, so rest is spread evenly and nobody waits twice before everyone has waited once.
