How does 32 team round robin work?
In a round robin format, all 32 teams face every other team once. That means each team plays 31 games, creating a total of 496 matchups throughout the entire tournament. It’s a transparent structure that gives every team an equal opportunity to prove itself.
Since 32 is an even number, no byes are required. The 32 team round robin scheduler automatically generates a clean, well-organized sequence of matchups, distributing games evenly and preventing back-to-back home or away assignments, unless you choose to customize the layout to fit your event’s needs.
