That is sort of stepping from one point to the next and loop if you  
are through. Maybe that explains it:
----------
A round robin is an arrangement of choosing all elements in a group  
equally in some rational order, usually from the top to the bottom of  
a list and then starting again at the top of the list and so on. A  
simple way to think of round robin is that it is about "taking  
turns." Used as an adjective, round robin becomes "round-robin."

In computer operation, one method of having different program process  
take turns using the resources of the computer is to limit each  
process to a certain short time period, then suspending that process  
to give another process a turn (or "time-slice"). This is often  
described as round-robin process scheduling.

In sports tournaments and other games, round-robin scheduling  
arranges to have all teams or players take turns playing each other,  
with the winner emerging from the succession of events.
A round-robin story is one that is started by one person and then  
continued sucessively by others in turn. Whether an author can get  
additional turns, how many lines each person can contribute, and how  
the story can be ended depend on the rules.
