Ian,
Realistically, we can play 8 games in a single one-time tournament, keeping it under 2 hours.
I found that the sequence I had posted before was made for golf not soccer, so it did not take into account the opponents team- as a result, works great to avoid repeating any two pairings more than twice, but it does repeat oponents (same two oponennt players ended up facing three times sometimes). So ideally I'm looking for:
* 24 players
* 4v4 games
* Three fields
* 8 rounds
* Any two players are not paired together or face against each other more than twice
* It's OK to have pairings that do not happen (I imagine this is unavoidable).
In this Dutch style tournament, each team point is tracked at the indivdual level, so there is one player that wins most points at the end (penalty shootouts if there are players tied for most points). This has three concurrent 4v4 games, looking like this:
Once I receive the sequences from you, I will create a Google Spreadsheet that will automatically tally indivdiual points and provides a final player ranking at the end of the tournament. I will be organizing these tournaments on a monthly basis (several of us doing this at the club), so whatever you provide will be used A LOT.
THANAK YOU!!!
PS- I already created exactly this tracking spreadsheet for the 16 player tournament that you had posted here on this site in response to an earlier query, so you've already helped!
