Schedule F.A.Q

How many games are played in a 42-team round-robin ice hockey schedule?

The short answer: For a 42-team league or tournament, with each team playing every other team exactly once, there will be 861 games.

The long answer: It depends on how many rounds are needed. A round means the set of games where each team plays one other team, unless that team has a bye. To be a true round-robin, each team needs to play every other team, so in a 42-team schedule, each team would play 41 other teams, or 41 rounds. Multiplying the rounds by the number of teams and then dividing by two gives you the total number of games played, which is 861.

Are there byes in a 42-team round-robin schedule?

No. Since the number of teams is an even number, there will not be a bye for a 42-team round robin schedule.
