"Round"和"robin"都和体育运动没有任何关系，round robin原本是和"圣餐礼"有关的一个嘲笑人的短语。短语第一次出现在1546年 加尔文(1509-1564,法国基督教新教加尔文宗的创始人)的著作 A faythful and most godly treatyse concernynge the most sacred sacrament of the blessed body and blood of Christ 的英译本里: "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用于和圣餐有关的文字的原由，没有人能说清楚。
