How the fixtures are generated

Round-robin schedules use the classic circle method — the same rotation printed in federation handbooks — so every team plays every other team exactly once (or twice in double round robin), with an equal number of matches per round and rest rounds distributed fairly when the team count is odd. Home and away designations are balanced mathematically: no team is assigned more than one extra home match compared to any other, regardless of how many teams you enter.

Knockout draws follow standard competition seeding: your entry order is the seed order, seeds 1 and 2 land in opposite halves, and when the team count is not a power of two, byes complete the bracket and go to the top seeds — exactly how official draws handle 6, 11 or 24 entries. Later rounds show "Winner M3"-style slots so the printed bracket can be filled in as results come.

What the PDF contains

League mode prints every round as a dated section with match numbers, score and winner blanks, followed by a ready-to-fill points table listing all teams with played/won/lost/points columns. Knockout mode prints a proper bracket tree — boxes, connector lines, match numbers, greyed byes and a champion line. Both carry the tournament name, venue and format in a branded header and print cleanly on A4 in black and white.

Organiser tips

Enter teams in strength order if you want meaningful seeding; shuffle them yourself for a random draw. For weekend leagues, a 7-day gap fills sensible dates automatically. Per-match times are deliberately left blank — courts and grounds change on the day, and a pen beats a reprint. These fixtures follow common school and federation-style conventions; your tournament's printed rules always prevail.

Is the fixture generator free?

Yes — unlimited free use, no signup. Fixtures preview instantly on the page and download as a print-ready A4 PDF with only a small footer credit.

How many teams can I enter?

From 3 up to 32 teams. Round robin lists every round with dates if you set a schedule; knockout draws a full bracket up to a Round of 32.

What happens with an odd number of teams?

In round robin, each round one team automatically gets a rest — every team still plays every other team exactly once. In knockout, byes are added to complete the bracket, and with seeding ON the byes go to the top seeds, as in official draws.

What does 'seeded' mean in the knockout?

The order you type teams is treated as seeding: team 1 is the top seed. Seeds 1 and 2 are placed in opposite halves so they can only meet in the final — the standard competition draw. Turn seeding off to pair teams in entry order instead.

What is a double round robin?

Every pair plays twice — once as home and once as away, like the IPL league stage or football leagues. The schedule doubles: the second half mirrors the first with venues swapped.

Can I add dates and venues?

Yes — set a start date and gap between rounds and every round gets a date on the PDF. Venue prints in the header; per-match times are left blank on purpose so organisers can pen them in.
