"Round"和"robin"都和體育運動沒有任何關系，round robin原本是和"圣餐禮"有關的一個嘲笑人的短語。短語第一次出現在1546年 加爾文(1509-1564,法國基督教新教加爾文宗的創始人)的著作 A faythful and most godly treatyse concernynge the most sacred sacrament of the blessed body and blood of Christ 的英譯本里: "Certayne fonde talkers applye to this mooste holye sacramente, names of despitte and reproche, as to call it Jake in the boxe, and round roben, and suche other not onley fond but also blasphemous names." 至于round robin用于和圣餐有關的文字的原由，沒有人能說清楚。
