OK, starting to actually put my project together and have been trying to figure out how I am going to accomplish the following:
I have a tournament with 4 different divisions. Each of these divisions is made up of a varying number of teams (from 3 to 7 teams per division). Each team needs to race the other in a "Round Robin" format. I want to generate a scheduled list of all the races to ensure that each team races every other team in their division ONLY.
Secondly, each team belongs to a club. A club may have more than one team in the same division and they may have teams in multiple divisions. I want to limit, as much as possible, teams from the same club running in consecutive races.
Lastly, the race takes place in two lanes, the left and the right. I need to ensure that teams get an "even" amount of racing in each lane. Preferably they would switch from left to right with each race, but that may not always be possible.
So, how impossible is this? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
