Title: 12 divisions, balance home and away?
Post by: Mick(Guest) on December 25, 2005, 03:42:14 PM
Cool site - I've struggled for years with this doing it manually.  

Do you have any thoughts on my specific fixture situation.  Games are scheduled for a 5-game round, with divisions that contain 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 teams.  Currently we have 12 divisions.  When I use the standard 6 team ( for example ) pattern for several divisions, there is a discernable pattern in the fixtured games.  To make this more "random" should I be using variations, such as mirror or advanced round, to assign each 6-team division a different pattern of games.  I have experimented with this but still finish up with "spikes" in number of home and away games
