- Can someone suggest an algorithm for doing round robin tournament
- scheduling where one table has a list of contestants and their states,
- one table has a list of judges and their states, and one table has
- a list of contest times and locations. What I want to do is to
- match more or less random groups of contestants for a series of
- rounds with the constraint that the judge must never be from the
- same state as any of the contestants, and contestants should not
- compete against any of the same players in subsequent rounds.
- Each contestant will compete in a fixed number of rounds, with
- the scheduling all done ahead of time (no winners against winners).
- Perhaps this isn't a good thing to try to do in a database program,
- but all the other info is there already.
