How the schedule is built

The generator uses the circle method, the standard way to draw a round robin. One team stays in place and the others rotate one position each round, so every pair meets exactly once per cycle and no team plays twice in a round.

With an odd number of teams, an empty slot joins the rotation. Whoever is drawn against it has a bye that round, and each team has one bye per cycle.

Home and away alternate through the rounds. When teams meet more than once, the generator can swap home and away for each repeat, which gives a home and away season.

EasyBracket's league format uses the same method, then places the fixtures by date, time and venue.
