Question from Sally: I have 14 dart teams. Each team has a home bar.Usually it is one week home, the next week away. I have 3 locations that have one board only, yet have 2 teams at each location. I have one location that has 2 dart boards, and 3 teams. The last location have 3 dart boards and 4 teams.Can you make me a schedule that will be home and away, and every teams plays each other twice. In case you are wondering, the bars sponsor the teams.Thank you. Sally |
Sally,
That seems to be 13 teams.
Apart from that, it is not clear what to do about games between two teams from one pub. If they are to play a "home-home" game, there will be significantly more home games than away games (especially for the pub with four teams) and strict alternation will be impossible.
