5-Team Round Robin Tournament Structure

NOTES & SUGGESTIONS:

1. Depending on the sport, team size, available time,

and available facilities, the season could be configured
such that each team plays each other team once or
twice. Hence, the inclusion of Season Halves.

2. Depending on such factors such the length of an

official game and the number of venues available, team
size, the total number of games played per class may not
coincide with the rounds as listed below. The listing of
games per class listed here assumes that every class
has team practices scheduled.

3. If time allows, be sure to build in 1-2 back-up days.

For example in the template below, Day 6 serves as a
back-up day for any unscheduled delays or cancelled
days. In case the back-up day is not needed for make-up
games it can be used either as a day for class-wide
instruction (e.g., a workshop on advanced level tactics);
introducing new student roles; a regular
practice/scrimmage day; or a one-day unit that focuses
on a different activity (as a change in pace).

4. It is also strongly encouraged to include a day

toward the end of the season that can serve as a back up
day for completing the competition.

NOTES & SUGGESTIONS:

1. Depending on the sport, team size, available time, and

available field/court space, the season can be configured
such that each team plays each other team once or twice.
The template to the right shows a format where time for
the actual season is limited in that teams play each other
only once.

2. Also depending on such factors such the length of an

official game and the number of venues available, team
size, the total number of games played per class may not
coincide with the rounds as listed below. The listing of
games per class listed here assumes that every class has
team practices scheduled.

3. If time allows, be sure to build in 1-2 back-up days. For

example in this template, Day 5 serves as a back-up day
for any unscheduled delays or cancelled classes. In case
the back-up day is not needed for make-up games, it can
tbreakers
be used either as a day for class-wide instruction (e.g., a
workshop on advanced level tactics); introducing new
student roles; a regular practice/scrimmage day; or a
one-day unit that focuses on a different activity (as a
change in pace).

4. It is also strongly encouraged to include a day toward

the end of the season that can serve as a back up day for
completing the competition. In the example to the right,
Day 9 has some back-up time available.

NOTES & SUGGESTIONS:

1. Depending on the sport, team size, available time, and

available field/court space, the season can be configured
such that each team plays each other team once or twice.
The template shown here has a format where time for the
actual season is limited to 10 days (with built-in back-up
days) with teams playing each other once.

2. Again, the length of an official game, the number of

venues available, team size, the total number of games
played per class may not coincide with the rounds as
listed below. The listing of games per class listed here
assumes that every class has team practices scheduled.
For example, if only two courts/fields are available, OR if
time only permits two games per class, it would lengthen
the season by an extra 6-7 days (not counting back-up
days).

3. Time permitting, the season should have 1 to 2 back-up

days imbedded. For example in this template, Day 4
serves as a back-up day for any unscheduled delays or
cancelled classes. In case the back-up day is not needed
for make-up games, it can be used either as a day for
class-wide instruction (e.g., a workshop on advanced
level tactics); introducing new student roles; a regular
practice/scrimmage day; or a one-day unit that focuses on
a different activity (as a change in pace).

4. It is also strongly encouraged to include a day toward

the end of the season that can serve as a back up day for
completing the competition. In the example to the right,
Day 9 has some back-up time available.
