  1. PERL 105 Practicum: Scheduling Session

  2. Factors to Consider • Availability of space • Facility (size and suitability) • Sport (length of games) • Participant conflicts • Nature of competition (recreational or competitive)

  3. Selecting a Format Basic formats • Round Robin • Elimination • Combination The main difference between the two formats is the number of guaranteed games that teams will play. Therefore, it is important to decide on the nature of the tournament and whether you want to emphasize participation or competition.

  4. Round Robin Ideally, all teams play each other at least once. • Ensures all teams play the same number of games • For large leagues, pools are often used • Need more time for this format • Better for teams with less skill just looking to have fun • Ex. NBA Regular Season

  5. *Even # of Teams Round 1 A vs B C vs D E vs F Round 2 A vs D B vs F C vs E Round 3 A vs F D vs E B vs C Etc… *uneven # of Teams (ie. there will be a bye) Round 1 F vs A B vs C D vs E Round 2 F vs C A vs E B vs D Round 3 F vs E C vs D A vs B Etc… Round Robin Scheduling

  6. Round Robin – Determining a winner • Often attach points to wins, ties, and loses. Team with the most points wins. • Ensure a small point differential • You can just do # of wins • Ties – you need a process to decide on ties at the end of your schedule • Consider head-to-head results, fairplay points, points for and against, etc…

  7. Elimination Teams are eliminated from the competition after one or more losses • Emphasizes winning • Doesn’t take as much time • Better for teams with a high level of skill looking for a competitive format • Games cannot end in a tie • Ex. NHL Play-offs

  8. Byes Byes occur when there are an odd number of teams • More difficult when scheduling elimination tournaments • Get rid of all byes in the first round • Number of participants (real or implied) needs to be a perfect power of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16)

  9. Equal Total: Rank of teams is ______. Formula: ___________ (where N=number of teams)

  10. Equal Difference: Rank of teams is _________ or all rankings are similar Formula: ___________ (where N=number of teams)

  11. Combination Use a combination of both Round Robin and Elimination in the same schedule • Preliminary rounds are often Round Robin (often include pools) and playoffs are Elimination • Ex. MacEwan Rec leagues and tournaments

  12. Double Elimination Tournament • Quicker tournament with more games per team • Each team must lose twice before they are out • Made up of a winners bracket and a losers bracket • Winner of Losers Bracket can still win the tournament.

  13. Scheduling Assignment Volleyball Tournament (Recreational) • 8 teams • 2 courts • 1 hour games • 8 hours total (9 am – 5 pm) • A tournament champion must be declared at the end of the tournament Build a schedule using any format you like. Be prepared to explain your choices.

  14. Scheduling Assignment Volleyball Tournament (Recreational) • 8 teams • 2 courts • 1 hour games • 8 hours total (9 am – 5 pm) • A tournament champion must be declared at the end of the tournament • Double elimination tournament where the ranking of the teams is unknown
