A rotating schedule for 9 individuals |
2014-05-29 |
![](/images/transparent.gif) |
Josh pose la question : I need to set up a rotating schedule for 9 individuals.
The individuals will be pairing each week in groups of two.
Thus, every week there will be 4 groups of two individuals and one individual not paired with anyone (i.e. a "bye week").
The rotating schedule should not repeat any pairing and it will continue until each individual has been paired with every other individual once.
Thank you Victoria West lui répond. |
