The Round Robin results must be determined following the USA Pickleball Rulebook:
Rule12.C.3. Round Robin.
All players or teams play each other. Games may use any of the approved tournament scoring options. (See Rule 12.B.)
The winner is determined based on number of matches won. If two or more teams are tied:
12.C.3.a. First tie-breaker: head-to-head matches won.
12.C.3.b. Second tie-breaker: point differential of all games played. (e.g., Team A won Match 1 11-8, 11-4, so they would have a point differential of +10. Team A then wins the second match 11-9, 2-11, 11-6. For this round, they would have a point differential of -2. This would give them a total for the day of +8.)
12.C.3.c. Third tie-breaker: head-to-head point differential.
12.C.3.d. Fourth tie-breaker: point differential against next-highest team. (e.g., If the teams are tied for second, use point differentials against the first-place team.)
If there are "unbalanced pools", point differential may be used instead of head to head.
