Free Printable Round Robin Pickleball Charts
Pick your player count below for a free printable round robin chart — every rotation verified so partnerships are as balanced as the math allows. Print any of them or save as a PDF for the court, or skip the paper entirely and run the same format live, auto-scored with tracked standings, in the free DillDraw round robin generator.
Each chart is a full rotation worked out in advance, so partnerships spread as evenly as the arithmetic permits. For most group sizes that means nobody partners the same person twice, and no pair of players faces each other more than two or three times across the whole session. The charts are generated and checked programmatically rather than typed by hand, which is why the claims printed on each page are specific instead of vague.
A few sizes behave unusually and it is worth knowing before you print. Seventeen players is the best schedule on this site: every pair partners exactly once and opposes exactly twice, a rare exact fit that also applies at 5, 9 and 13. Six players cannot avoid a single repeated partnership, so the chart uses the one that costs least. Seven and fourteen leave a small number of pairs who never share a court, which is unavoidable at those counts and is stated plainly on both pages. Everywhere else the rotation is complete.
Sizes that are not a multiple of four give some players a bye each round. The charts spread those byes as evenly as arithmetic allows, so no one sits twice before everyone has sat once, and at 17, 18 and 19 the bye order is fixed and predictable enough to read off the sheet. If your group size moves week to week, print the charts either side of your usual number as well — each page links to its neighbours for exactly that reason.
Want the night to count toward everyone's rating? Running a DUPR-rated round robin covers club submission, how many rated matches a session produces, and how to get the results out.
Running drop-in open play where people come and go? King of the court needs no schedule at all — winner stays on, everyone else queues.
Organizing a social night rather than a bracket? How to organize a pickleball mixer covers the run of show, round length, mixed skill levels, and what to do about latecomers.
Group spread across very different standards? Playing across mixed skill levels covers the choice nobody names out loud — whether to flight by ability or to pair strong with weak — and why doing both at once satisfies no one.
Sessions running longer than the court booking? Rally scoring versus side-out explains why a side-out game to 11 takes roughly twice the rallies of a rally game to 11, and what that does to a fixed-length evening.
Organizing for a workplace or a fundraiser? Work and charity pickleball tournaments covers how many people your courts can actually hold, where the budget really comes from, and why a round robin beats a bracket when most of the field are beginners.
Each schedule uses generic player labels (A, B, C…) so it reads as a clean template — swap in your own group's names before you print. Don't see your exact group size? The live DillDraw tool generates a fresh rotating-partner schedule for any number of players on the fly.
