All,
I am putting together a volleyball schedule for the season and I am trying to figure out the match ups for the season based on the parameters below.
16 teams
Round Robin format, everyone plays each other once through the season
15 weeks for the season
Matches will be played once a week
Two time slots each week for matches
4 courts available each week (i.e. 8 matches per week)
Each team should ideally play each time slot 8 or 7 times during the season
That being said, Court #4 faces west and presents issues for players when the sun is setting. As a result, the league would like to make sure each team plays on Court #4 3 or 4 times during the season but would like to minimize the amount of back to back weeks on this court for any given team and to also spread out the matches on Court #4 across the season as much as possible.
For the remaining three courts, we would ideally like every team to play each court only 3 or 4 times through the course of the season.
Any help here with a proposed schedule would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
