Print with real names (optional)

Excel — no typing needed here: the spreadsheet has its own Players tab. Open the file, type each team name once there, and every round updates.

PDF — type your teams' names below (one per team, e.g. “Alice & Bob”) and a “PDF with names” button appears next to each schedule.

The regular PDF and Excel buttons always download the standard T1/T2 sheets in one click — no names needed.

The live mixer keeps your partners together when it matters.

A printed team schedule assumes everyone arrives on time, no team leaves early, and rating gaps don't matter. PickleMixer keeps your fixed partners together but adapts when those assumptions break.

// 03 FAQ

5-team round-robin questions.

6 questions
Q.01 How many rounds does a 5-team round robin take?
A complete 5-team round robin takes 4 rounds — each team plays each other team exactly once. Use the schedule above to see the full pairings.
Q.02 What if a team drops out mid-night?
A printed schedule becomes invalid the moment a team leaves. The live mixer just removes the team from the rotation and continues — partners stay locked, sit-outs rebalance.
Q.03 Can I mix fixed partners with regular rotating players?
Yes — that's actually the most common case. Pin a few couples or training partners as fixed teams, leave the rest as solo players, and the mixer handles both at once. The free downloadable schedule above assumes all players have a fixed partner.
Q.04 Can I print this schedule and use it without the mixer?
Yes — that is the point of the PDF and Excel downloads above. Each round lists the team-vs-team matchups by court, with sit-outs derived from whichever team is missing that round. Label your teams T1 through T5 and you are done.
Q.05 Can I print the schedule with my teams' real names?
Yes — two ways. Type one name per team (e.g. "Alice & Bob") into the "Print with real names" panel above the schedules and download the personalized PDF, or use the Excel file's Players tab, where typed team names fill every round automatically. Leaving names blank gets you the standard T1/T2 sheet with a write-in name key.
Q.06 What about uneven team ratings?
In team mode the live mixer can match each fixed team against an opposing team of similar combined rating. The static download shows a fair partner-rotation schedule but doesn't consider ratings — for that, use the live mixer.

Print it. Or live-mix it.

The PDF and Excel files are free. The live team mixer is also free — and it adapts when teams drop or rating gaps appear.
