Intermediate Round Robin Events
What are Round Robin events? In an 8-person Round Robin event, each participant commits to playing seven games, partnering once with each of the other seven participants. Completing seven games takes about 2 hours, and scores are recorded after each game.
An 8-person Round Robin uses two courts at a time. Therefore, two 8-person Round Robins can be held simultaneously on Courts 1A-1D. The Round Robin coordinator invites 16 players, randomly divided into two groups of eight players. Each group has its own 8-person Round Robin event.
Who can play in Round Robin events? The events are intended for intermediate-level players who like competitive play but do not belong to a competitive league.
Protocols
Round Robin events are held on Wednesday afternoons (beginning 1/28/2026) , with the start time varying with the time of the year.
The Round Robin coordinator emails invitations to sixteen registered players who did not play in the previous week’s event. These invitations go out by 7:00 pm five days before the event. An invitee must respond within 24 hours to reserve a spot. If fewer than 16 players reserve spots, the coordinator emails invitations to additional players until 16 participants have accepted. The coordinator sends confirmation emails to them. Note that players who played in the previous week’s event are the last to be invited.
For any event, only those people invited receive a maximum of two emails. The first is the invitation; the second is the confirmation. Those who are not invited will not receive any emails.
