The Round Robin or tRR was a community-organised Highlander tournament, open for both European and North American players. Alongside a league dedicated solely for already formed teams, from season 5 onwards, the organisation also ran a mentoring tournament, open for all beginners to Highlander.

History[edit]

At first, the tournament was called the Reddit Round Robin, and was purely Reddit-centered. For season 5, the organisation dropped the Reddit part of its name, to avoid alienating other players, and started a mentoring competition open to lower-skill players, who were grouped into teams and assigned a high-level mentor. The Mentoring tournament was only available to European players until season 7, when American teams were also formed.

The Round Robin ran 7 seasons across two years, from early 2012 to 2014. The website stayed online and unchanged for three further years, finally disappearing in early 2018.
