Can anyone help advising on creating a round robin specific scheduler:
Round Robin Tennis Scheduler and Ranking
Playing rounds: 24
Playing courts: 2
Players: 12
Playing game: double (2:2)
Total matches: 24*2=48
Total playermatches: 48*4=192
PLaying times player: 192/12=16
Main goals:
equal balanced playing time
every match with different partner, after playing with everyone random play again with same player (12 player, means 11 different partners but we have 16 playing times)
every match against different opponent
Ranking:
every playing sets won: 2 points
won by more then 2 sets difference 1 point extra
counting games won
counting games lost
total matches
matches played
matches to play
Ranking order:
1. total points
2. matches to play
3. games won - games lost
Any help would be very appreciated.

Re: Round Robin specific Tennis scheduler
Hi,
One way to do this would be to store values for each player in an array and then use something like PHP's array_rand() function to select a random player from that array. If you then remove that player's entry in the array then your script won't pick that player again when your script needs to select their opponents. You might want to put this script logic in a while() loop that iterates through all the values in the array until there are none left.
I think you'd probably want to define a few different arrays just so that you can reset the list of players each time a new game needs to be scheduled. You can also use the in_array() function to check whether a value already exists in an array, so you could create a set of arrays that were initially empty but are then populated with players moved across from the other set of arrays.
Creating the match scheduler and recording/displaying the results are two separate tasks, so I would recommend getting the match scheduler logic working first so that you're not trying to solve two different problems at the same time.
