What is a league with 6 teams?

In a league (round robin), each of the 6 teams plays every other team exactly once – so every team plays 5 fixtures. This results in 5 matchdays with 15 matches in total, with 3 matches running in parallel per matchday if enough pitches are available. Unlike a knockout, nobody is eliminated: every team plays the full season, which makes the league the fairest format when all participants should get as many matches as possible. The standings are sorted automatically by points (3 for a win, 1 for a draw), goal difference and head-to-head. With an odd number of teams one team has a bye each matchday – Turniermeister schedules these byes automatically.

What is a league with 6 teams good for?

A league with 6 teams pays off when every team should get as many fair matches as possible over the season and a single bad day should not decide elimination. It suits club leagues, company and hobby rounds as well as a group phase before a playoff or knockout stage. Placement is decided by points (3/1/0), then by goal difference and the head-to-head result on ties.

FAQ: League with 6 teams

How many matches does a league with 6 teams have?

A league with 6 teams has 15 matches across 5 matchdays.

How are the standings calculated?

Turniermeister calculates the standings automatically. The default is 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw; 2-1-0 and 5-2-0 can also be selected in the settings. Ties are resolved by the table rules you choose, such as goal difference, goals or head-to-head.

Can I create a league with an odd number of teams?

Yes! With an odd number of teams, one team has no match in each matchday. Turniermeister distributes the matches automatically; the team without a match has no game in that round.

Can I share the standings live?

Yes! A tournament can have a public page with schedule, standings and live results – shareable via link or QR code. Public sharing is included in the paid plan.

How long does a league with 6 teams take?

At 15 minutes per match, a league with 6 teams takes about 2 h 30 min on 2 pitches and roughly 1 h 15 min on 4 pitches – pure playing time across all 5 matchdays. Plan extra time for breaks as well as setup and teardown.

Can I play a league with home and away legs?

By default every team plays 5 fixtures (single round). A home-and-away round would double the number of matches to 30 instead of 15, but Turniermeister does not currently offer it as a built-in option, and the scheduling does not distinguish home and away games.
