A single round-robin with 8 teams has 28 games. That’s because each team plays every other team once, so the total is 8×7÷2=288\times 7\div 2=288×7÷2=28.

How it works

  • Each team plays 7 opponents.
  • Counting all teams gives 8×7=568\times 7=568×7=56 team-games.
  • Each game involves 2 teams, so divide by 2 to get 28 games.

If it’s double round-robin

If each team plays every other team twice, the total becomes 56 games.

TL;DR

  • Single round-robin: 28 games
  • Double round-robin: 56 games
