Title: ladies night out
Post by: mamamo on February 23, 2011, 03:45:09 PM

I have 9 ladies who play on one court once a week all year long, how can I schedule them so the players are mixed randomly. there are no A and B players

Would you give a few more details please.  Are you playing a singles or doubles format?  When you play is there just one match, or are there different time slots available for two or more matches?

Thanks.

I suggest you start with the schedule  here on the Wiseman website (http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/tournaments/individual-pairs/ip-pure_09.html).  Assign the 9 ladies to the letters A to I at random and then play the first 18 matches, one match per week reading from the schedule left to right and top to bottom.  For the next 18 weeks make a different random assignment and use the scedule again.  Repeating this the third time would give you 54 weeks, so you may need to leave out a few rounds.

Hope that helps.
