Requests / Beer Olympics - 5 Teams

« Last post by talkto54 on March 30, 2025, 04:10:55 PM »

Hi! I'm looking for a way to schedule a Beer Olympics for 5 teams. Each team must play each game and each opponent. However it's okay if teams have to play the same game or same opponent twice as long as its the same for everyone. It's also okay to have a "Bye Game."

Ideally the schedule will have 6-8 games (7 being ideal), 5 teams, and up to 10 rounds, with all of the variables being flexible except the 5 team requirement.

Any help trying to figure this out would be greatly appreciated!

Here are some 6 round & 4 court schedules that may be of use for between 16 and 19 players - byes are shown inside square brackets. I am sorry that I have no way of getting balance for court or side of the net, but within a round you can consider swapping games between courts, and swapping sides of the net for a game to try to improve matters.

16 players

( 7  5 v 16  3)  (15  1 v 13  8)  (12  2 v 14  9)  ( 6  4 v 10 11)

Hello again. I need your help again. 
We are having injured players, so for the next championship only 14 players will be available. Can you design a championship where we play 3 matches every week and two players take a rest?
Thanks so much in advance.

The reason for 6 games is that we're limited to a 2 hour block of time.  I have up to 6 courts available based on how many players sign up.  For example, if I have 23 players, we'll use 5 courts and have 3 byes for each game.  I realize that not all players will play 6 games.  This is not a tournament.  This is for daily play in an active adult community.  The idea is to play with and against as many players as possible within the 6 games.

I am not aware of any generator that will help you with this.  There is also a problem, as when there is an odd number of players, exactly 6 games per player will not be possible as some people must have more or less than 6 games.  I might be able to offer solutions for a few scenarios, but can you say a little more about the format of play, in particular is there only one court to play on? Or do you have as many as 6 courts, in which case you could have rounds where 24 people play simultaneously.

I manage a doubles pickleball round robin that could have between 6 and 27 players.  There are 6 games in the round robin.  Players should partner with another player no more than once and should play against as many other players as possible.  It would be preferable, but not required to play on both sides of the net 3 times.  How do I go about setting this up?  Thanks.

Have you seen my Excel file here?  If you ask it for 17 teams in home/away format and a double round robin, then, if I have understood correctly, you will get something close to what you want, you would need to drop the last 4 rounds.

Requests / League with some teams played twice and others once

« Last post by detmot on March 23, 2025, 03:11:44 PM »

Hello

Can you help with the following criteria?

17 teams - 12 teams played home and away, the other 4 played 2 home and 2 away
28 games for each team over 30 rounds, so each team has 2 byes
16 teams play in each round, therefore a maximum of 1 bye team per round
As far as possible, teams to have alternate home and away games

Thanks for any help you can offer.
