Round robin teams

[ianmac]

Using a Swiss teams type of event in ASE Scorer you can conduct a round robin event. In the session definition click the [Teams draw] button (alt-T) and define your own draw. On subsequent rounds using [session][new], choose [no] to "automatic draw' and the same draw option is available on each round.

Care is needed with an odd number of teams where you want to play a 3-way match. The 3-way is over two rounds/sessions and so in the second round of the two, the teams in the 3-way should not be included in the number of teams and the draw for that round. If you have an odd number of teams (after eliminating those in the 3-way,e.g. a team drops out) then a bye must be played for that round only.

See http://www.asecomputing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=709 for more details on 3-way matches.

Many thanks for all your work on the issue of 3 way matches and advice on how to run these following SP64. It has helped to clarify my comprehension.
Would it be possible for you to define the recommeded Round Robin fields for say 5,7,9 and 11 teams, assuming the 3 way matches will share the boards?

Draws for 7, 9, and 11 teams are in my book, page 97

When doing a manual draw for 3-way matches over two rounds you must specify a different number of teams in the draw on each round.
For example with 7 teams to start, the draw is:
7 - 4
6 - 5
1-2-3 (over two rounds)
Because it is over two rounds the next round for 1,2,3 is already defined.
Then for the next round add a session but with 4 teams not 7
and use draw
4 - 6
5 - 7
and next (7 teams)
2 - 6
3 - 7
1-4-5 (over two rounds)
and next (4 teams)
7 - 2
6 - 3
and next (7 teams)
2 - 4
3 - 5
1-6-7 (over two rounds)
and last (4 teams)
5 - 2
4 - 3
