Hello! I have just had an event where I left the scheduling and stats to an unqualified person and he basically destroyed my event and wasted all the players' :( time. He had no clue how to put together a schedule with the following mandatory criteria (nor do I for that matter--hence my post.)
1.In a round robin format where each player plays the other players in his group, we need two players plus one referee for each match at each table hockey game (board/court).
2. All players must play on different boards within their group (two groups of 8 players for a 16 player tournament on six boards/courts)
3. Players and Referees rotate--for example, I ref your match . . . . then one or two rounds later, you ref my match. Players serve as refs when they are not playing matches.
So the schedule for each match would look like this:
Player A Referee Player B Game/Board 1
Player C Referee Player D Game/Board 2
etc
4. Finally, how do I design a spreadsheet system that can perform both the scheduling function I require AND keep track of all match results and tabulate the statistics (won/lost/goals for/goals against/points/placement). I know nothing about spreadsheets never mind spreadsheet design but am so angered >:( by my last tournament that I am willing and able to do whatever research and study necessary. Thanks :) for your help.

Hello,
I think that any literature on referee assignment problems that you might find will assume that referees are not drawn from among the players but come from a separate group, so there may not be much to study. Reading your message, I am not sure that I can see how your tournament will work. With 8 players from one group, then you can only play 2 matches per round, with 4 players, 2 referees and 2 byes. Is that what you want?
