24 teams, 3 groups, 5 courts

[Val French(Guest)]

Hi,

I desperately need a combination for a netball competition.

3 separate age groups of 8 teams each playing on 5 courts on the same day { 24 teams on 5 courts } but trying to keep the age groups on same courts as near as possible i.e U19's lettered A-H, U16 numbered 1-8 and U14 letterd a-h.

Thank you

Val,

It's not clear what sort of tournament you are trying to arrange.  

How many matches do you intend to play on one day?
How many days?

If you only have one day for the whole competition then I don't see that you can manage anything other than an elimination tournament within each of the three age groups, 21 matches in total spread over 5 rounds of play - so there would be two free courts in the last two rounds.

Ian.
