Hello,
I run a monthly mah jongg (4 players at a table) tournament for 9 months. I have 56 players (14 tables) and would prefer each player only play each other once. Do you have a schedule I can go by to assign each person's table assignment for each of the 9 months?

Thanks so much!
Patti

Hello Patti,

Please have a look at this thread and download the zipped Excel file called "foursome-tournaments-v4".  You can use rounds 1 to 9 (R1 to R9) from the '56 players' worksheet for your tournament.   Look at the comment on the first worksheet that describes the structure within the tournaments, either you can ignore this, and just assign the 56 players randomly to A1-A28 B1-B28, or you could make a tournament with 2 or 4 ability groups, where every table is mixed ability.

Hope that helps,

Ian
