Is it possible to create a fair and balanced schedule for a Beer Olympics event involving 6 teams and 7 teams, ensuring that each team has an equal number of games and breaks throughout the tournament?

Requests / Maximum Play Determination

« Last post by bryanfaz on April 10, 2024, 01:46:17 PM »

I'm hosting a fundraising tournament and trying to figure out the maximum number of players I can accept into the tournament. Here are the conditions:

1.) 14 courts
2.) 1 day, 12-14 hours.
3.) Format - Doubles Mens and Womens (No mixed). Round robin, double elimination (back draw).
4.) Divisions - Two for men and two for women.
5.) Scoring - First to 11, by 2. 

I have total flexibility to adjust these parameters, except numbers 1 and 2. 

We are naturally trying to maximize the number of participants for the charity. i've considered modifying the scoring by reducing the score to 9 or even 7, only winning by 1 to win game, etc. 

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!!

Here is a solution that could work using the teams a01-a10 and b01-b10.  The partnerships should all be different, the byes are evenly distributed, and most pairs of players from different teams oppose once or twice.  I suspect that slightly better opposition balance may be possible.

(a01 a07 v b02 b04) (a05 a04 v b01 b06) (a02 a06 v b03 b07) (a03 a08 v b05 b08)
(a09 a02 v b02 b03) (a03 a01 v b06 b10) (a06 a04 v b04 b01) (a10 a05 v b05 b09)
(a02 a04 v b10 b08) (a03 a10 v b03 b04) (a01 a08 v b07 b02) (a09 a07 v b09 b01)
(a09 a06 v b08 b06) (a01 a02 v b09 b07) (a05 a08 v b01 b10) (a10 a07 v b05 b02)
(a10 a08 v b03 b06) (a04 a09 v b07 b05) (a05 a07 v b04 b08) (a06 a03 v b09 b10)
(a05 a02 v b03 b01) (a07 a08 v b06 b07) (a06 a01 v b05 b04) (a04 a03 v b02 b08)
(a10 a02 v b10 b04) (a09 a03 v b01 b02) (a06 a05 v b03 b05) (a04 a01 v b09 b06)
(a07 a03 v b07 b01) (a10 a04 v b02 b10) (a08 a02 v b04 b09) (a01 a09 v b08 b03)
(a09 a05 v b07 b10) (a08 a06 v b09 b02) (a02 a07 v b06 b05) (a01 a10 v b01 b08)
(a03 a05 v b04 b06) (a04 a07 v b03 b09) (a08 a09 v b05 b10) (a06 a10 v b08 b07)

(a09 a10 b09 b10) are the byes in round 1, (a07 a08 b07 b08) in round 2, etc..

There is indeed a solution for this if you use the schedule below.  You may want to randomize the order of the tee-offs within each round, since as it stands players 1, 2 and 3 are always in the same column.

Hi Adrian,

Do you mean 10 rounds, so each player has 8 games and 2 byes?

Thanks,  Ian

Hi Ian,

Excellent website with so many helpful resources.

I am looking for a schedule for a rotating doubles round robin pickleball tournament consisting of two teams of 10 players each over 4 courts with just 10 games.  I have had a scour through but couldn't see anything similar.  Would you have something?

Thanks, Adrian

Requests / 13 & 15 player, rotating partners on 2 courts for Pickle Ball

« Last post by Ingy27 on April 05, 2024, 11:57:16 AM »

Hello,

We have 2 Pickle ball courts and usually have 12 to 16 people. I would like to make a fair rotating partner round robin where people don't have to sit for very long if possible.

I already collected the 12, 14 and 16 player tournaments, just looking for 13 and 15 player tournaments.

Thank you
