Example of a round-robin tournament with 10 participants. A round-robin tournament or all-play-all tournament is a competition format in which each contestant meets every other participant, usually in turn.

A Swiss-system tournament is a non-eliminating tournament format that features a fixed number of rounds of competition, but considerably fewer than for a round-robin tournament; thus each competitor (team or individual) does not play all the other competitors. Competitors meet one-on-one in each round and are paired using a set of rules ...
The division semifinals was changed to a double round-robin format within the division, with the top three teams from each division qualifying (each team played four games). Following the round-robin games, the top two teams qualified for the best-of-three division finals, followed by the best-of-seven finals.
A standard round-robin tournament is used, in which all teams play each other once. Because the number of total games increases quadratically with respect to the number of teams, scheduling too many teams will result in an unwieldy number of games, particularly when there are a limited number of playing surfaces (championship curling arenas usually only have four or five sheets).

Manually. Take a 20-team league, so two sets of 19 fixtures. Assign the numbers 1-19 to the first 19 fixtures. Generate a randomized list of the numbers 1-19 (e.g. 16, 4, 1, 6, 13, etc...) and sort the second 19 fixtures according to that randomized list. random.org is one such sequence generator. — Lomn 14:52, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
If there are more than two tied competitors in a 2-competitor game, the play-off may be a round-robin or knockout tournament, as in the 1992–93 League of Ireland. Instead of a playoff, the original matches may provide the tie-breaker criteria: head-to-head considering only results of matches between the deadlocked competitors.
