Can anyone give me a fool proof method...?

Question

of making up a league table for 20 football teams who must all play each other in a round robin? Other factors I need to consider are that there are 5 venues/dates, 3 of which have 4 pitches and 2 of which have 2 pitches. Also I need to make sure that there isn't a long gap between games, as the poor wee things don't want to be sitting around in the cold for too long. Any sensible suggestions greatefully accepted.

Matches are 5 a-side and last about 10 or 15 mins. I know there are 19 games each team and 190 matches altogether, that's the easy bit. It's the actual structuring to make sure I miss noone out and there are no duplications. I forgot to say that each team must play 5 times at each of the bigger venues and 4 at the smaller venues. A pitch is the field and there is no play off. It's purely points based. It is a nightmare!!

Answer 1

A few questions - unless I'm missing somethiing here.

1. Each team has to play 19 games in order for all to play each other? That means 190 games in that time frame?

2. Not familiar with the term 'pitches'. Is this another word for 'playing fields' ?

3. If it's youth football - is there a time limit to the game?

4. Do you have to schedule a playoff at the end?

OK - You obviously sustained a moment of insanity when you volunteered for this.
You have your hands full on this one.
I'm still trying to digest it all.
Will let you know if I come up with something.
Good luck Mom!
