table rotation question

[byline2]

Hello. I am running a table hockey tournament in two weeks. The setup is a round robin format, with everybody playing at once so we can get in the maximum amount of games.

I know where to find the round robin matchups online. Here's what I don't have and can't find: I need to know where to find a round robin format that also includes a table rotation, so that after each game, every player can move to the left (or right) and be at the game they need to be at.

I inherited a setup for round robins of 13-16 players with table rotation. But I also need one for 6-12 players as well.


Any ideas where I might find this on the internet?


Thx,
Eric

Thank you very much Jeff.

Actually, when I work this out, the schedule doesn't seem to allow the players to rotate one step to the left or right and be at the correct table.

And any suggestions about what to do about the odd-numbered scenarios? Just use the same thing with byes?



Thx,
Eric
