Title: 15 participants - 1v1v1
Post by: Rorona on March 19, 2012, 01:56:01 PM

Hey, I'm trying to set up a tournament for 15 players, to be played as three-way matches, and can't quite figure it out.
I browsed through the forums and didn't find any threads that made me any wiser, so I thought I might as well ask myself. This isn't some infamous unsolvable construction is it? To be honest I don't really know mathematics that well, thus help would be greatly appreciated.

In advance thank you.  :)

It is both famous and solvable!  The second schedule here should be the solution you are looking for.

Thanks a lot Ian, that's very helpful. And I'll look up Kirkman's schoolgirl problem to see how far/close I was from solving it yesterday.
