Printable 11-Player Round Robin Pickleball Schedule
Eleven is two courts plus three spare, so three people sit every round. Across eleven rounds it evens out exactly: eight games and three byes each, and never two byes back to back. Each player partners eight of the other ten with no pairing repeated, and everyone faces everyone at least once. Print the sheet before you go, or type the eleven names into the free DillDraw round robin generator and follow the byes on a phone instead of a clipboard.
Fill any of these in and the schedule below updates automatically — leave any blank to keep its letter. Saved on this device so it's still here next time.
Eleven players, three chairs
Eleven people make fifty-five possible pairs. Two courts produce four partnerships a round, so eleven rounds offer forty-four slots — eleven short. Those eleven missing pairs distribute evenly: each player partners eight of the other ten and misses exactly two.
The three byes each round are the part people notice, so they are spaced deliberately. Every player sits exactly three times across the session, and the rotation guarantees nobody sits in consecutive rounds.
Opponent coverage is complete: every pair of players faces each other at least once, and no pair meets more than three times. Partner balance is the thing worth getting right in social doubles, and opponent spread is what falls out of it — here both land well.
Eleven rounds to 11 runs just under three hours. Because no partnership repeats, a shortened session is still fair — any block of rounds starting from round one works on its own.
If someone doesn't show, or a twelfth turns up
Down to ten, use the ten-player schedule: same two courts, one fewer round, and two sitting instead of three. Games stay at eight each. The difference is one less bye per player and a slightly shorter night.
A twelfth changes the whole session if you can get a third court. Twelve on three courts puts everyone on court every round, completes the partner rotation, and lifts each player from eight games to eleven. It is the one late arrival worth rearranging courts for.
Three people sit every round here, so a mid-session dropout is the least of your worries. Pick one of the three to fill the gap and let the other two keep their rest.
Eleven players on two courts means three sit each round, spread so the load falls evenly. Playing across mixed skill levels covers the harder question of who should be on court together in the first place.
Eleven rounds with rotating byes is a long session to hold together. Rally scoring versus side-out explains the roughly two-to-one difference in rally count that decides whether you get through it.
