This isn't a magic scheduling *algorithm*, but it
is an "ideal" 8 team, 7 round
distribution:
1-2 . 3-4 . 5-6 . 7-8
5-7 . 6-8 . 1-3 . 2-4
1-4
. 2-3 . 5-8 . 6-7
3-7 . 1-5 . 2-6 . 4-8
4-5 .
2-7 . 3-8 . 1-6
2-8 . 4-6 . 1-7 . 3-5
3-6 . 1-8
. 4-7 . 2-5
This is its "raw" form, in case
you want to find a hidden pattern in the room
selection (which I don't see). The game pattern is the
2-division setup I described a few posts back, with 1,2,3,4
being one division and 5,6,7,8 being the
other.
It would be prettier if you swapped rounds 4 and 7
-- that avoids anyone playing in the same room in
consecutive matches.
Enjoy!
