How might you incorporate bye requests into the scheduling algorithm?
For instance, I have a league with 12 teams and weekly games. Several teams know in advance they can't play certain weekends due to tournaments.
Team A: Week 1
Team B: Week 3
Team C: Week 7
etc.
Any ideas? Let's assume there is an extra week in the schedule already so that each team gets a bye. Alternatively... if there is no extra week, then we'd have to schedule double-headers for certain weeks in order to maintain the same number of games.

With an even number of teams, missed games would have to be made up on a later date or forfeited. Try to make sure no team which can make their schedule doesn't play more than one team that will have to have a make up game as you may not have the time to make up more than one game. HTH

why not create a new team to represent each bye, and have the number of teams you want to have a buy matched up with that team each week. Catch my drift?
