Printable 15-Player Round Robin Pickleball Schedule
Fifteen players fill three courts with three sitting, and over fifteen rounds it balances exactly: twelve games and three byes each, and never two byes in a row. Each player partners twelve of the other fourteen with no pairing repeated, and everyone faces everyone at least once. Print the chart, or run all fifteen rounds from a phone in the free DillDraw round robin generator, which saves passing one sheet around three courts.
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.
Fifteen: three courts, three chairs
Fifteen people make one hundred and five possible pairs. Three courts produce six partnerships a round, so fifteen rounds offer ninety slots — fifteen short. The missing pairs spread evenly, leaving each player having partnered twelve of the other fourteen.
Three sitting out of fifteen is a fifth of the room at any moment, so the bye rotation is the part worth getting right. Each player sits exactly three times, five rounds apart, which means no back-to-back benching and a predictable rhythm people can plan a water break around.
Opponent coverage is complete: every pair of players faces each other at least once, and no pair more than three times. That is about as even as opponents get once the partner rotation is fixed.
Fifteen games to 11 is close to four hours — a full afternoon. Since no partnership repeats, this sheet shortens gracefully: stop after round eight or round ten and every player still has that many games and that many different partners.
If someone doesn't show, or a sixteenth turns up
Down to fourteen, use the fourteen-player schedule: same three courts, one round shorter, two sitting instead of three, and twelve games each either way.
A sixteenth is worth a fourth court if you can get one. Sixteen on four courts has nobody sitting and partners everyone exactly once, with fifteen games each over fifteen rounds, the same length as this sheet. On three courts, sixteen would leave four people sitting every round.
A fifth of the room is resting at any moment on this sheet, so a player leaving mid-session is easily covered. One of the three sitting that round goes on, and the bye rotation does not need to change.
Fifteen players on three courts means three people sit out each round, and everyone still finishes with twelve games. Work and charity pickleball tournaments covers sizing an event to the courts you booked rather than to the sign-up sheet you were handed.
At fifteen the spread of abilities is usually wide. Playing across mixed skill levels covers cutting flights at the natural gaps instead of at equal headcounts, and why fifteen makes flighting awkward.
