Questions
How many games are in a round robin with 17 teams?
136 games. Each team plays every other team once, so each team plays 16 games. The formula is n × (n − 1) ÷ 2, which is 17 × 16 ÷ 2 = 136.
How many rounds does a 17-team round robin take?
17 rounds of 8 games each. With an odd number of teams, one team sits out each round (a bye), and every team gets exactly one bye.
How many games are in a double round robin with 17 teams?
272 games over 34 rounds. Every pair of teams meets twice, usually once at home and once away, so each team plays 32 games.
How do I turn this into a schedule with dates, times, and fields?
