Round-robin tournament

A round-robin tournament or all-play-all tournament is a competition format in which each contestant meets every other participant, usually in turn.[1][2] A round-robin contrasts with an elimination tournament, where participants are eliminated after a certain number of wins or losses, as well as with a Swiss-system tournament, where participants are matched according to their running score.
