every other team or player in the league

Round Robin
Adjustments
When an odd number of teams make up a league a bye must be
used.

In a round robin format, a bye simply means that the teams do


not play, or have a rest break. In other tournament formats a
bye means the team advances. In those situations a bye is
treated as a win.

No time is assigned to the bye as no game or match is played.


In this league of 7 teams, three games will be played per night.
