Ok, Senario : Game is Dodgeball.
I have 18 teams. 5 minute games. I want at least 2 mins in between but for ease I calculate in 5 mins. (So 10 mins for 4 games) I have 2 courts running at the same time.
I broke out the teams so with the 18 teams playing once it takes 30 mins :
Court 1 6:30
Team 1
Team 2
Court 2
Team 3
Team 4
Court 1 6:37
Team 5
Team 6
Court 2
Team 7
Team 8
Court 1 6:44
Team 9
Team 10
Court 2
Team 11
Team 12
Court 1 6:51
Team 13
Team 14
Court 2
Team 15
Team 16
Court 1 6:58
Team 17
Team 18
Court 2
Team 1
Team 5
So now my delema starts. I have 2 nights to play this tournament. I can go from 6:30 - 10:30. What is the best way to set this up so the most teams play the most people but as the teams get better they play other teams that are winning and the teams that are losing play each other.
I DON'T want a single elimination type deal like March Madness or like that. If we had 4 days we could have Everyone against everyteam and then have a top 4 playoff, but the time jsut isn't there. For everyone to play once, it's 1/2 hour, as you see above. With 18 teams, thats 9 hours. At the end I want playoffs so thats another 20 mins. So if I ran it back to back I'm in this 9.5 hours (Engineerically speaking)
Did I explain what I wanted to do clear enough ? Ask if you have any questions, post if you have a solution. I mean really.. Not all of the smart guys are out hunting, are they ?!?!!
