Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I'm not sure where to ask - the chess.com forums just left me hanging.

According to the FAQs, it sets tournaments up in a round robin style. Not sure what that means, but as long as it has us all play each other it's fine by me. Here's my goal - have all 6 players play eachother, and to not have us all play 5 games at once. Anyone know what settings to choose for six people? Thanks I'm advance for any tips!

That is called a double round robin. It considered to be more fair, but also takes twice as long. You should probably set the group size to the number of players you want in your tournament, that's kind of the point of a round robin. If you want fewer round that you have players, a Swiss tournament is probably closer to what you are looking for.
