Hi everyone,
(New here so go easy on me please).
I need to create a fixture list (home and away) that can adjust to different number of players but there's one difficult part: we need everyone to have as many home games (or away games) in a row if possible and all teams must play at the same time. An example (I manually created) for a four team fixture list would be like so (numbers indicate players):
Round 1: 1 v 2 ; 3 v 4
Round 2: 1 v 3 ; 2 v 4
Round 3: 1 v 4 ; 2 v 3
Round 4: 2 v 1 ; 4 v 3
Round 5: 3 v 1 ; 4 v 2
Round 6: 3 v 2 ; 4 v 1
This way player 1 and 4 play all their home and away games in a row and player 2 and 3 play at least two home games in a row.
I want this adjustable for 6, 8, 10, 12 player but am not intelligent enough to work it out.
Would anyone know the ideal set of formulas to do this?
Any help would be appreciated!
