Hi Funsters,
Surely this is well known, but somehow not to me. How do you arrange round robin tournament pairings?
If you don't do it right, you can get in a situation where a round can't be done. Here is a way, I'll illustrate with 5 teams: 1 stays in place and 2, 3, 4... follow each other. 1 - 2 6 - 3 5 - 4 1 - 3 2 - 4 6 - 5 1 - 4 3 - 5 2 - 6 1 - 5 4 - 6 3 - 2 1 - 6 5 - 2 4 - 3
