How many rounds do 9 players need for a round robin?
With 2 courts we suggest 9 rounds, which is what the schedule below uses. Running about 9 rounds lets the byes cycle through everyone fairly. You can set any number of rounds in the live generator.
How do byes work with 9 players?
1 player rests each round because 8 of the 9 players are on the 2 courts. 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.
