Requests / 12 team beer olympics

« Last post by Aduse on July 04, 2024, 08:31:56 PM »

I have a 12 team beer olympics schedule to create. 
There are 2 groups A B, 6 teams per group, 5 games total, each team in group A would play eachother same as B in the 5 games. If you could figure out the scheduling that would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Requests / Re: 12 Team Tournament (need reply by 7/6 am)

There is a 10 team schedule here and a 12 team schedule here that should help.  These have the properties that you want, each team exactly once in each row and in each column, and all teams player each other exactly once.  I could find the 14 team version if you wish.

Requests / 12 Team Tournament (need reply by 7/6 am)

« Last post by MikeMack on July 03, 2024, 07:20:55 PM »

I've seen several examples of 12 team tournaments but I haven't found one that meets my criteria for my BeerLympics this Sat. (7/6) and foolish me thought this would be an easy setup - which after days of trying and even resulting in collaborating with Chat GPT have left me with no results...

Here are the tournament parameters:
- 12 teams
- I have an unlimited amount of games (cornhole, flip cup, Beerio Kart, JackBox Trivia, etc.) I can utilize so I'm flexible on this.
- There are 2 sets of rounds to be played with a break in between, a halftime
----- ex. if there are 11 unique games for the entire tournament then a set of 6 unique game would be played followed by a break and then another set of 5 different games would be played

Tournament Structure:
- Each team MUST play each game exactly once
- Every team to play each other team once but not more than 2x
----- Preferably each team would play each other team EXACTLY once
- We can add a bye for each team if needed to fulfill the requirements of the tournament structure
----- If a bye is added, then each team will have to have a bye

Is this structure even possible? If not, is it possible with 10 or 14 teams?

Ian,

That is a really great solution.
I had been pulling my hair out trying to improve the schedule.
Really appreciate all your help.

Mike,

I don't have a spreadsheet that will help you here, but using other software I can get close to what you want. The schedule below has all partners different, however the opposition pairs for player 13 are not quite as balanced as possible.

( 2 12 v 14  6)  (10  4 v 15  8)  (13  5 v  3 11)  ( 9 16 v  7  1)
( 5 12 v 10 15)  ( 8  7 v  3 14)  (13  6 v  1  4)  ( 2  9 v 11 16)
( 3  4 v 12  1)  ( 6  2 v  9 10)  (11  5 v 14  8)  (16  7 v 13 15)
( 5 15 v  9  1)  (14 11 v  4 16)  ( 7  3 v  2 10)  ( 6 12 v 13  8)
( 1 16 v  8 10)  (12  3 v 11  9)  (13 14 v 15  6)  ( 4  5 v  7  2)
(12 13 v  2  1)  (15 16 v 11  6)  ( 5  8 v  9  7)  ( 4 14 v  3 10)
( 6 16 v  5  3)  (11 12 v  7 10)  ( 9  8 v 13  4)  ( 1 15 v 14  2)
(12  4 v  5 16)  (13  9 v 10 14)  (11  7 v  1  6)  (15  2 v  3  8)

I don't know of any software that will solve this general problem.  Can you give a typical example of the number of players, and number of time slots, and I might be able to offer some help about coming up with schedules.

You could use my Excel spreadsheet to generate round-robin schedules. It is just a basic schedule maker, there is no facility for collecting results or scoring.

Requests / Round robin scheduler

We are looking for help creating a round-robin scheduler, we use the https://tournamentscheduler.net/ website and it works great but last weekend we had a tournament and the site was down and not working. We want to have a stand-alone program that we can use. 
We have up to 100 people and have 12 rounds we get the csv file, import it into our access database, and run the scores.

Requests / 16 Player, 4 courts, 8 rounds

« Last post by Mike Von on June 13, 2024, 11:57:06 PM »

Ian,

I am looking to run a tennis doubles Whist tournament with 16 Player, 4 courts, 8 rounds.

I'm hoping everyone can play against each other at least once and not more than twice.
I'm hoping everyone will never play with the same partner more than once.

Is this something I should be able to do using your spreadsheet?

Much appreciated for all your efforts.

Mike

Requests / League round robin

« Last post by MAGMA on June 13, 2024, 08:24:51 AM »

I organise a sports league of variable team numbers (sometimes odd, sometimes even). We have 1 court available over multiple timeslots, but I need the timeslots to be as evenly distributed as possible. Everyone needs to play each other once, and then it can repeat if necessary. 

I have tried using the algorithm, but I cannot make things even.
