Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Circle of Death (sporting)
This can be sourced pretty easily https://www.google.com/search?q=%22circle+of+death%22+round+robin+-wikipedia+-wiki+-encyclopedia&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS797US797&oq=%22circle+of+death%22+round+robin+-wikipedia+-wiki+-encyclopedia&aqs=chrome..69i57.15414j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 but it's not really {{em|notable}}. It's not a topic unto itself, it's just a well-known issue that can arise with RR tournaments (anyone who runs tournaments will be familiar with it, and it's one reason that people move quickly away from RR to double-elimination instead, when feasible).  I even devised a "demi-finals" system for resolving it, before I learned better, and I'm sure I'm not alone.  The kind of silly name originates, from what I can tell, from ACUI and their College Bowl competitions (they also do concurrent pool tournaments and several other intramural competitions between various North American colleges and universities). College students are precisely the kind of crowd who would come up with such a name, so it's not particularly dubious, especially since a fair amount has been written about it.  But it's not significant coverage in high-quality, independent, reliable, secondary sources.  It's enough to pass #INDISCRIMINATE as article content, but not enough to pass  as its own page. PS: Regardless, remove the over-capitalization and render this as "circle of death" per MOS:CAPS. If "round-robin tournament" is not a Proper noun|proper-noun phrase, then a round-robin tournament gone awry isn't one either. See also
