How the schedule works
The schedule uses the circle method, the same one sports leagues use: every round, everyone plays at the same time, and by the end everyone has met everyone exactly once. With an odd number of players, one player sits out each round, and everyone sits out exactly once.
Play everyone twice adds a second leg in the same order with the sides swapped.
Standings
A win is 3 points and a tie is 1. Level on points? If exactly two players are level, the one who did better against the other goes first, then more wins, then the original order.

Questions
How many rounds does a round robin have?
One fewer than the number of players when the number is even (8 players play 7 rounds), and as many rounds as players when it's odd, because someone sits out each round (7 players play 7 rounds).
How many matches are in a round robin?
Players × (players − 1) ÷ 2. 6 players play 15 matches, 10 players play 45. Playing everyone twice doubles it.
What happens with an odd number of players?
One player sits out each round, and everyone sits out exactly once, so it stays fair.
How are ties in the standings broken?
Points first (3 for a win, 1 for a tie). If exactly two are level, head-to-head decides, then the number of wins.
