How this round robin works

Each of the 4 teams plays 3 games. The schedule uses the circle method, so the rounds are balanced and no pairing repeats.

Frequently asked questions
How many matches in the 4-team round robin?
A 4-team single round robin has 6 matches in total — each of the 4 teams plays the other 3 once. The formula is n×(n−1)/2.
How many rounds for 4 teams?
4 teams need 3 rounds. With an even number of teams every team plays each round; with an odd number, one team has a bye each round.
How many games does each team play?
Each team plays 3 games — one against every other team. For a double round robin (home and away), double it.
How is the schedule generated?
It uses the circle method: team 1 stays fixed and the others rotate one spot each round. This guarantees every pairing happens exactly once with balanced rounds.
Can I add scores and a live standings table?
Yes. Create the tournament on LiveCup and the league table, points, goal difference and tiebreakers update live as you enter results.
Can I run a double round robin?
Yes. Turn on "Home and away (return matches)" in the tournament settings and LiveCup schedules the second leg too, with live scores and standings for every match. The generator on this page also has a double round robin switch if you only need the fixture list for 4 teams, twice as many matches.
