Hi I am looking for a way to help my Mom's bowling league.
She needs to divide the 64 players into a 8 teams of 6 players each. But would like that the total point (total of individual scores in each team) of every team be relatively the same.
And to make things even more challenging... 8 indevidual players are already chosen as team captains so the total score of the team must begin with their capitans score!
Can someone help me? VBA or Solver?

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
So a couple questions. You have 64 players and want to divide them into 8 groups of 6. To start, that is only 48 players... 16 of them going away? If so does it matter who is going away?
