« Last post by Mike Von on August 29, 2024, 11:57:03 AM »Ian,
I searched the site but couldn't find:
eight players
doubles tennis
three rounds
only play against a player once
the one player you don't play against, you have as a partner once during the 3 rounds
Is there a solution that meets these requirements?
Any help is much appreciated.

G1 G2 G2 G2 G3 G3 G3 G4 G4 G4
(13 9) (15 18) (19 3) ( 4 11) (16 6) ( 5 17) (14 1) ( 2 7 (20 8) (10 12)
(14 10) (11 19) (20 4) ( 5 12) (17 7) ( 1 18) (15 2) ( 3 8 (16 9) ( 6 13)
(15 6) (12 20) (16 5) ( 1 13) (18 8) ( 2 19) (11 3) ( 4 9 (17 10) ( 7 14)
(11 7) (13 16) (17 1) ( 2 14) (19 9) ( 3 20) (12 4) ( 5 10 (18 6) ( 8 15)
(12 8) (14 17) (18 2) ( 3 15) (20 10) ( 4 16) (13 5) ( 1 6 (19 7) ( 9 11)
(20 1) ( 4 6) (13 10) ( 8 17) ( 5 11) ( 9 15) ( 7 18) (19 14 ( 2 12) (16 3)
(16 2) ( 5 7) (14 6) ( 9 18) ( 1 12) (10 11) ( 8 19) (20 15 ( 3 13) (17 4)
(17 3) ( 1 8) (15 7) (10 19) ( 2 13) ( 6 12) ( 9 20) (16 11 ( 4 14) (18 5)
(18 4) ( 2 9) (11 8) ( 6 20) ( 3 14) ( 7 13) (10 16) (17 12 ( 5 15) (19 1)
(19 5) ( 3 10) (12 9) ( 7 16) ( 4 15) ( 8 14) ( 6 17) (18 13 ( 1 11) (20 2)
Or perhaps you can divide the 20 teams into 2 groups of 10 teams? Then it is possible to schedule all games to be between group. Let me know and I can find another schedule.

« Last post by NTLKnight on August 27, 2024, 11:14:48 PM »Now I will look at 16 players, 4 courts and 7 rounds. My software is not finding an optimal solution, but it gives me a schedule like this:
( 6 12 v 9 10) ( 5 13 v 11 15) ( 1 7 v 14 2) (16 8 v 4 3)
(10 11 v 4 1) ( 2 9 v 5 16) (15 13 v 6(14 7 v 3 12)
( 5 9 v 8 7) (12 13 v 2 4) (10 6 v 14 11) (15 1 v 16 3)
(12 16 v 13 11) ( 8 1 v 6 7) (15 2 v 14 9) ( 3 5 v 4 10)
( 7 15 v 4 11) (12 5 v 1 6) (13 9 v 3 14) ( 8 2 v 10 16)
(12 2 v 3 15) (16 4 v 6 14) ( 7 5 v 10 13) ( 9 8 v 1 11)
( 2 3 v 6 11) (12 14 v 8 5) ( 4 13 v 1 9) ( 7 10 v 16 15).....
Just entered your first draft of numbers (16 players, 4 courts, 7 games)...and I think this is as good as it gets! (Not sure why I have to enter your numbers in my own Excel spreadsheet...it takes me a while to do that!--but I just want to see if my colorful spreadsheet confirms the amount of times each player plays against other players!) Like you said, the only players that meet each other twice, are 2/16 & 5/10...which is *absolutely fine*! Every other player faces off one time...which is more than I've ever been able to achieve trying to randomize these numbers! Here's what it looks like on my "conditionally formatted" spreadsheet...when I enter your numbers:
So for creating a schedule with 4/5 games (rounds)...should I just use the 6 round version you game me last week...and remove the last games (5/6) that I don't want included?
Thanks again,
Nathan

« Last post by NTLKnight on August 27, 2024, 10:24:19 PM »Ian, thank you so much. I didn't want to wait too long to let you know that I used the solution your program provided for a tourney on Saturday. 16 players, 4 courts, 6 games...with a 7th game at the end for the top 8 players (a Finals game). Here's the link, if you're interested to see how it went: https://www.avllife.com/everyman4himself-39/
I will now look at your solution for 7 games. This would be for events where we don't want to have a "Finals" game, but let everyone play 7 games and then just count up the wins and point differentials. Same for 5 games and 4 games...for days when there isn't as much time.
Best Regards,
Nathan

Requests / 22 team event
« Last post by Soccer2426 on August 27, 2024, 05:53:24 PM »Hi,
You have saved my behind several times in the past (THANK YOU) and I am hoping you can do so 1 more time. Here are the details of my event:
22 teams
4 different events
Game A - each team competes 1x
Games B, C and D - each team competes several times; ideally each team competes in each of the events the same # of times. e.g. Every team plays each of A,B and C 3 times
I'd like the event to run anywhere from 10 to 14 rounds if possible.
If i need to add a 4th Game to make things work I can do that. This game can be played 1x or 2x or 3x etc. to make this work.
If i need to add another round i can also do that.
If there is any other tweak that would make this possible i can probably do it.
I have enough equipment to run the same game 3 times (maybe 4 times) each round. e.g. 6 teams could all play game A in the first round.
The only real priority is that each team plays each game the same # of times.
I have been struggling for days to make this work b/c i did not want to bother you again but i have come up empty....
Thank you in advance for your consideration!

(4 5 7) (6 1 2) 3

Does that help?
