A round robin is attractive because each side meets several opponents. It only feels fair if the schedule and ranking method are known in advance.
Count teams and rinks
With an even number of teams, every team can play each round if enough rinks are available. With an odd number, assign a bye and rotate it. For a large entry, use pools so the day fits the available green time.
Choose a short match format
Specify ends, bowls per player and any time limit. Use the same conditions for every match in a pool. Check the governing laws and local conditions; national competitions demonstrate that bowls counts and end lengths vary.
Publish the table rules
Decide in advance how many table points a win, draw and loss earn. State the order of tie-breaks, such as points, shot difference and head-to-head result. Make the rules visible beside the fixture list.
Close each round cleanly
Collect and verify results before calculating the next table. Announce who has a bye, where each game is played and when the next round starts. Save the final table and scores so players can check the outcome later.
