How a 5-team soccer round robin works
Every team plays each of the other 4 teams once, which is 10 games in total. With an odd number of teams one team sits out each round, so the season needs 5 rounds and every team has exactly one bye. A double round robin (home and away) doubles that to 20 games over 10 rounds.
Round 1 pairings
The generator uses the circle method, which guarantees each pair meets exactly once. For 5 teams seeded 1–5, round 1 is: 5 v 2, 3 v 4 (bye: team 1). Home and away alternate so no team is stuck with all away games.
How long does it take?
Using 75-minute soccer slots, 10 games need about 12.5 hours on one field, 6.3 hours on two, or 3.1 hours on four. A weekly league playing one round per week runs 5 weeks. Pro's scheduler turns those numbers into actual dates, start times and fields, honouring rest gaps and games-per-day limits.
Soccer rules that affect the schedule
Adult recreational soccer commonly plays two 30–35 minute halves; youth ages play shorter halves. Draws are normal in league play, so the standard 3-1-0 points system applies.
Tie-breakers: Points, then goal difference, then goals scored, then head-to-head (FIFA-style ordering; many local leagues use head-to-head first).
Organizer tip: Rotate which teams get the late-evening kickoff so the same club is not always playing under lights.
