I have been trying to set up a foosball tournament which has the following criteria:
8 players, say A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, need to form rotating, unique teams (gives 28 combinations). This gives 2 matches each round and 7 rounds. Pretty easy to solve, if not for the last criteria: Everyone has to play against each individual player exactly twice. But how do you get it all to add up? I'm fairly good at math and fairly good at sudoku, but this nut feels more like seppuku Failing to put the pieces into programming too.
