Round Robin

Round-robin, a circle divided from the centre, like King Arthur's Round Table, whence its supposed origin. In each compartment is a signature, so that the entire circle, when filled, exhibits a list without priority being given to any name. A common form of round-robin is simply to write the names in a circular form. For an account of perhaps the most famous round-robin on record, see Boswell's Johnson, Edn. by Birkbeck Hill, vol. iii. p. 82.
