Round-Robin Schedule Generator

Builds a complete round-robin schedule where every team plays every other team exactly once (or twice with return legs), using the classic circle method. Odd team counts automatically get one bye per round.

Enter names, or just "8" to schedule Team 1…Team 8.
Same seed, same shuffle.

Notes

  • The circle method is exact, not heuristic: with n teams it produces n−1 rounds (n rounds with a bye when n is odd) and every pair meets exactly once per cycle.
  • Home/away in a single round robin is balanced only approximately (the circle method cannot do better); a double round robin is perfectly balanced because every fixture is mirrored.
