Round-robin (document)
A round-robin is a document signed by multiple parties in a circle to make it more difficult to determine the order in which it was signed, thus preventing a ringleader from being identified. == Europe == The term dates from the 17th-century French: rond ruban, lit. 'round ribbon', which described the practice of signatories to petitions against authority, usually government officials petitioning the Crown, doing so in a circle or ribbon pattern.
