Printable 13-Player Round Robin Pickleball Schedule

3 courts 13 rounds Doubles — rotating partners Players: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M

Thirteen is the best-behaved large size on this site. Three courts hold twelve, so exactly one person sits each round, and across thirteen rounds that is one bye each. The partner rotation is complete: every player partners every one of the other twelve exactly once — a true doubles round robin rather than a shuffle that gets close — and everyone faces everyone too.

Why thirteen lands exactly

Thirteen people make seventy-eight possible pairs. Three courts produce six partnerships a round, and thirteen rounds times six is seventy-eight. It lands exactly, with nothing left over and nothing repeated — the same rare fit that makes five and nine work, at three times the size.

The single bye is the whole reason it fits. With twelve on court and one off, the bye walks straight down the roster: A sits round 1, B sits round 2, on through M in round 13. Everyone finishes with twelve games and one rest.

Read any player's line down the sheet and you get a list of the other twelve names, each appearing once. Opponents are less tidy, as always — once partnerships are pinned to a perfect rotation, who you face is whatever falls out of the arrangement — but here every pair still meets at least once.

Thirteen games to 11 is a long session, about three and a half hours with changeovers. Stopping after round eight leaves every player with eight games and eight different partners, which is a complete and fair sheet in its own right.
