The only problem I see with that is if the Round Robin is only for an against, then one team might run it up after another team doesnt.

There should be a mercy rule to prevent that - 47-1 for kids is disgusting.
Or atleast a max for/against of 10, no matter what the final score is.

I thought of another great example of how to handle this. Watch any NBA game where the score is 110-60 in the 4th quarter. Try and recognize anyone on the court. You have to be a die hard fan to know the bench guys who are getting court time.
