11 team round robin schedule
Every team plays every other. 55 matches in total, 10 matches each, over 11 rounds — one more than an even field of this size, because somebody sits out every round.

11 is odd, so there is a bye every round
With 11 teams there is no way to pair everybody at once: 10 play and one sits out. Over the tournament each team gets exactly one bye, which is why it takes 11 rounds rather than the 10 an even field of this size would need.
A bye is not a match and it is not scored — the fixture count stays at 55, and everybody still plays 10. The table is unaffected by who happened to sit out when.
How long it takes
55 matches is the number that decides your day. Spread across two courts at 25 minutes a slot that is the duration quoted above; on one court, double it; on four, halve it.
Unlike a knockout, a round robin parallelises almost perfectly — there is no round that has to wait for the one before it — so the estimate is a good deal more honest here than it is for a bracket.
The table, and the argument it prevents
11 teams playing 10 matches each will produce a tie somewhere near the top more often than not. Points first, then head-to-head among the tied teams only, then score difference, then points scored — and the table prints which of those actually did the separating.
