Doubles round robin for 5 players, ready to print
With 5 players you fill 1 court and 1 player sits out each round. The chart below runs 5 rounds, after which everyone has sat out exactly 1 time, and no one gets the same partner twice. Works the same for tennis and pickleball.
| Round | Court 1 | Sits out |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Player 4 · Player 3 vs Player 1 · Player 2 | Player 5 |
| 2 | Player 4 · Player 5 vs Player 3 · Player 1 | Player 2 |
| 3 | Player 2 · Player 3 vs Player 1 · Player 5 | Player 4 |
| 4 | Player 2 · Player 4 vs Player 5 · Player 3 | Player 1 |
| 5 | Player 1 · Player 4 vs Player 5 · Player 2 | Player 3 |
How to use this chart
Print this page (the buttons disappear in print view) or keep it open on your phone. Replace Player 1–5 with real names, in any order. Each row is one round: partners are shown as pairs, “vs” separates the two teams.
Want it skill-balanced and different every week?
A fixed chart can’t see skill levels, and next week it deals the exact same hands. CourtShuffle builds the round robin from whoever actually showed up, balances every court by skill, remembers your whole season so partners stay fresh week after week, and handles late arrivals in one tap. Building schedules is free, no sign-in needed.
