Round Robin

In biographies about players pre-50's I encounter this term. Seems they played one or two Round Robins a year, but I can't figure out exactly what kind of tournament it is. Heven't encountered anything similar here in Sweden so I have nothing to compare it with.

Is it strokeplay or matchplay?
Limited field?
Is it still played today, albeit not by the pros?

Re: Round Robin

Hey

Round robin to me means-

Everybody plays everybody in that bracket.

Re: Round Robin

That would make it matchplay then. How do you decide a winner if say three people end up winning the same amount of matches?

Cool Re: Round Robin

There are still several versions of round robin played in the present era:-
- everybody plays everybody, with results based on both net & gross scores
- one vs the field (as the name suggests)
- swing team
- skins game
