Round Robins are the classic Flex League format. In this format, players are grouped into "flights" of 5-8 players with similar skill levels. You have the entire season, which typically runs for 8-10 weeks, to play each opponent once. All matches must be completed within the designated season dates.

Standings & Scoring
Standings for the Round-robin format are based on a points system. Here’s how points are awarded:
-
Completed Match:
- Winner: 3 points
- Loser: 1 point for participating, plus an additional 1 point for each set won
- Example: If you lose 5-7, 4-6, you get 1 point. If you lose 5-7, 6-2, 10-8, you get 2 points (1 for participating, 1 for winning a set).
-
Uncompleted Match:
- 1 point for participating, plus 1 point for each set won
-
Walkover:
- Winner: 3 points
- Loser: 0 points
Tiebreakers
In the event of a tie in the standings, the following criteria are used to break the tie:
- Head-to-Head: The player who won the match between the tied players. (This only applies to a two-way tie.)
- Sets Won Percentage: The player with the higher percentage of sets won.
- Games Won Percentage: The player with the higher percentage of games won.
Flight Movement Between Seasons
While there are no dynamic rankings during a season, your performance affects your placement in future seasons:
- Players who win their flight will move up at least one flight
- Players who finish last will move down at least one flight
- Movement also depends on the number of signups and the overall skill level of other players in the league
- Full match history is always taken into account when placing players
