Hello-
I'll be running an online board game league that will be using 6 player pods playing round robin (after each pod-round, players are relegated up or down according to record). The obvious problem with this is how to accommodate a number of players not divisible by six.
I'm thinking that the solution is to have the bottom most pod absorb the excess players, so it would have between 7 and 11 players. Ideally, I'd like those players to be able to play 5 games during the monthly round. I'm OK with having a few of them with byes, but I don't want to require them to play more than 5 games.
I've managed to diagram how 7 players works, with no byes, and 8 players works with one player having a bye. beyond that, it gets messy. I don't have the math to do anything but draw lines between numbers written around a circle. Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!
