Tournament System Introduction: Round-Robin
Tournament System Introduction: Round-Robin
Text/ VICTOR BADMINTON A-Z Editorial Room
Badminton is a sport that can be played by people of all ages. Understanding the basic rules is not hard for beginners and they can play without trouble. Many experienced players begin to take part in amateur competitions or even organize a small-medium sized internal competition in their company or school.
A complete completion system will not only avoid disputes arising, it also allows players to enjoy the experience of actually playing in competition, therefore, for players who plan to stage a competition, having a good understanding of competition rules and systems is very important.
The Sudirman Cup is a well-known international team competition |
Badminton competitions can generally be divided into individual and team competitions. The organizer chooses a suitable competition system taking into account the number players (teams) expected to enter, degree of importance attached to fairness, whether or not there will be a seeding system, the number of venues and the length of the competition. |
Number of people suited to the use of the round-robin system
The principle of the round-robin system is that “all units in the tournament will meet.” The round-robin is suited for use in small tournaments with 3-5 teams (individuals in individual events and pairs in doubles events are regarded as one team). |

The strong point of the round- robin system-fair
“Ability decides victory, luck has a minimal influence” is one obvious characteristic of the round-robin system. For example, if five teams are competition, each team will play the other four teams so the “ lucky not to meet a strong team, a team of average ability reaches the next round” situation will not occur.
Weak point of the round-robin system-time consuming
Because all the teams in a tournament play each other the process is time consuming.
The rule for judging win-loss ranking in the round-robin system
1. Usually calculated in points: every win receives two points, every loss one point. For example, if there are five teams in a tournament and the top team has four wins it will score eight points; a team with three wins and a defeat will have seven points, and so on. |

A brilliant badminton match really excites both players and spectators!
A competition with clear rules encourages people to take part more enthusiastically so, even in everyday practice, we suggest that players try to implement the round-robin system described above. On the one hand, it will make playing more fun and exciting, and will also allow players to get used to the system and atmosphere of a formal competition and thus accumulate useful experience, so that when they take part in competitions outside their club they won’t let nerves or unfamiliarity with the competition system affect their performance.
