    Do all matches in a round start at the same time and take the same amount of time? Commented Feb 4, 2018 at 18:18
  • Yes every round starts at the same time and takes the same amount of time. Commented Feb 4, 2018 at 18:22
  • I'm a little confused about what you're confused about. Let's say you have 20 teams, so there would potentially be 10 matches initially. You're at a location with 5 fields. What do you want to happen? Only 5 of the 10 matches will be played? Or do you want the first 5 to be played, then when those are over, the remaining 5 will be played? Commented Feb 4, 2018 at 18:54
  • I've updated the post with an example on what should happen when there are more teams then fields available for the round robin algorithm. Commented Feb 4, 2018 at 19:06
  • And yeah that's what I basically want @user1118321 . The matches which can't be played due to field limitations should be appended at the end of the tournament but so that it doesn't waste fields/rounds. (see example) Commented Feb 4, 2018 at 19:58
