Title: 6 teams cyclic / berger style generation
Post by: ipashov97 on June 02, 2020, 05:39:00 AM

Hi Ian,

Can you help me how to use your excel file to generate fixed berger pairing like - round 1 - 1 vs.6, 2 vs. 5, 3vs4: Round 2 6:4,5:3,1:2 etc.

The generator is set up to make balanced schedules where players occur equally often on each court, and so it will never produce a 1st round in standard order as in your example.

The cyclic schedules here (https://www.devenezia.com/downloads/round-robin/rounds.php) may be what you are looking for, or you could use Warren's generator here (https://www.wjporter.com/chess_etc/rrpair.php) to get Berger like tables (use the Porter option).

Hope that helps.

Hi Ian,

Thank you for fast replay, Porter option is exactly what I need but question is there any way this to be incorporated in Excel spreadsheet in same way like your random generator in excel file or is very difficult ?

I have got no plans to add this as a feature to the generator.  Actually the calculation is not that hard, it should be possible to do it with Excel cell formulas.  Are you interested in seeing that?
