Unit 2 Practice Problem:

Easy Round Robin Scheduling Practice Problem

Hey guys, its scheduling time! You have decided to run a small co-recreational basketball league for faculty and staff members at your university during the traditional faculty/staff lunch times. You have reserved your facility, the Turner Center, Monday October 12 through Friday, October 16 for 1 week. You have 10 teams which have signed up for your league (Nets, Knicks, Bulls, Kings, Pacers, Magic, Pistons, Wolves, Mavs and Rockets). You have 2 courts reserved to play games from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. You have guaranteed each team will play at least 3 games in the tournament. Games will last 1 hour and teams should not play more than one game per day. You are offering only a co-recreational tournament...no other units of participation will be offered (skill level, etc.).

To complete the schedule, provide the following information:

Figure out the total number of games available to you to play in this tournament
Break teams down into an appropriate number of leagues, making sure that the total number of games it takes to play the tournament does not exceed the total number of games available to you.
Create scheduling matchups for the leagues in your tournament
Place teams in appropriate leagues
Schedule the tournament, providing a master facility schedule showing days, dates, matchups and game locations for each team and game in the tournament
Tell me how many games each TEAM will play in the tournament.
Tell me how many games it will take to complete each LEAGUE.

Good luck!!
