I’ve made my fixture generating code available via a web page for those who don’t want to delve into programming in order to generate a fixture list.

I’ve had a look back and seen a request for it, but I can’t see a response from anyone regarding the ‘two-conference’ problem. I’ve got a solution that works for a just a simple setup of two 8-team conferences, with just simple sharing constraints (two teams per venue). It also works if you have a ‘mirror’ competition below e.g. you have a first team and second team competition with the same 16 clubs in each. The only place that it fails is when the second team competition doesn’t exactly mirror the first team i.e. you have a different mix of the 16 teams in each conference for 1st and 2nd team comps. Even then there are only two sets of fixtures that cause any problems and these can be re-arranged or split up. If anyone is interested, mail me

Hello can i get a similar one for 10 teams ,11 teams and 12 teams ?
i would like a 7 round one for 12 teams too…thanks
I have a tricky one for you
Could you please create a 10 teams and 2 teams have a BYE each week.
Thanks
Dean, isn’t that just a standard 12-team fixture pattern, but with two nominated empty slots? That would then leave just two weeks out of the 22 where the empty slots are scheduled against each other
Golf-two teams of six playing in twos- four founds – each player to play with four different players of own team – and with all players of opposite team at least once.
can anyone help.
Phil……something like this
1 & 2
3 & 4
5 & 6
……..
1 & 4
2 & 5
3 & 6
……..
1 & 5
3 & 2
4 & 6
………
1 & 6
2 & 4
3 & 5
……..
Just apply that equation to both teams. Hope that works for you
Hi, can anyone provide me with the basic fixture format for a division of 12 teams/clubs? I have the relevant formats for 8/10 teams but from 2011 we will be operating a division with 12 teams in it.
Many thanks in advance
John Greater Manchester Amateur Cricket League Fixture Secretary.
@John – use the fixtures generator linked in the original post … http://bluebones.net/fixtures.php
John,
I have all kinds of fixture plans in my online storage bin, which you’ll find by clicking on my name.
Just wondered whether or not you have something for odd teams in a league not cup/round setup? So the odd team plays one of the teams already played that night (for a 5-a-side league)? I know this will mean one team will play twice but it can’t be helped really. As long as each team only plays each other once/twice or a set pre-determined amount?
Wes
Wes
You will always end up with a week with one game left over. For example, a 5-team league with teams playing each other once requires 10 games. With three games per night (two involving four of the five, plus another with the ‘sit-out’ and one of the teams that has already played), that would be three full weeks, plus an odd fixture left over. A 7-team is 21 games in blocks of 4 leaves 1 over, and a 9-team is 36 in blocks of 5 – again 1 over. It carries on ad infinitum – there is no doubt a mathematical proof why the sum of 1 to (n-1) divided by (n-2) is always equal to 1.
Sorry – I missed out ‘the remainder from’ after ‘why’!
16 teams. 4 divisions of 4. 13 weeks of matchups. what’s the best way to get this done?
heres another.
20 teams. 4 divisions of 5. 13 weeks of matchups. what’s the best way to get this done?
You need to be a bit clearer, N.1.A.K. – are these conferences, rather than divisions, where teams play those in other ‘groups’ (for want of a better generic term)? Or are they just going to play the three/four teams in their own division ad nauseam (and because of the 13 week schedule not the same number of times for each team)?
Hello. i am using the system on your site for snooker matches, i am wondering if you could work out for a system that has 3 teams from the 1 club playing on the same night ie thursdays, 1 team must play at home, if thats to difficult do you have a system that caters for 3 teams from 1 club playing on a different night ie wednesdays
many thanks in advance
brian
sorry i also meant to say that there are 12 teams in the divison
Brian R
The fixture generator at the top will do this, provided that you pair two of the teams from the club as per the advice further up this thread; then you can guarantee that one of those two will always be at home and the other is away. The third team would then have to play on an alternative night, or at an alternative venue, when it has a home game scheduled as its home fixtures will always clash with whichever of the club’s other two teams are at home.
Hi i would like to have a 7team league fixture.However we dont have home and away game.we will have the tournament in a place where all the team gather and play at a new arena on the same day.There will be no home and away.Beside that,i would like to have my team(orginizing team) to have break of 2 match or more in between other team. Could you guys guide me in this…. Tq very much
I would have thought that you could just use the fixture generator at the top, and put in the seven team names. You will then get 7 groups of fixtures, a total of 21 games in blocks of 3, each of which can be played at a given venue and with one team sitting out. It would be up to you how you sequence those fixtures to achieve the constraint that you have specified – however if you were to put your team’s fixture at the top or bottom of every block of fixtures then that should have the desired effect
I wod really like u to help me plan a ko competition wit 9 teams
One preliminary round game, to reduce the number of teams to 8 – then quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals
Is it possible to produce a league of 8 teams where they only play 6 of the opponents home and away and within a twelve week period.
Likewise a 9 team league where only 7 opponents are played home and away within a 14 week period
Games are played once a week
Anyone any ideas how to allow for teams playing on same venue on same night?
Paul
The 6 from 8 is easy – just use the fixture generator at the top, use the plan generated and then use the first 6 weeks generated twice with the repeated fixtures reversed. However you can’t do that with 7 from 9 in 14 weeks – because of the odd number one team will always be missing a game in each week’s schedule and so it is never going to be possible.
Peter
If you read the top of the thread, it tells you how to pair teams when inputting them to the fixture generator so that venue clashes are avoided
Chris
I tried what you suggested but i still had teams playing on the same venue at the same time Have you any other further solutions It is beginning to frustrate me!
Thanks Peter
How many divisions and teams, Peter?
Chris
I have two conferences, east (7 teams) and west (8 teams). Everyone plays their conference teams home and away then plays the cross conference teams either home or away… Any ideas on an easy solution for this?
Thanks,
Conor
Conor, for the matches within each conference just use the fixtures generator on this site. That’ll be league rounds 1-14. Then for the inter-conference matches, you could use these fixtures:
ROUND 15: E1vW1, E2vW2, E3vW3, E4vW4, E5vW5, E6vW6, E7vW7.
ROUND 16: W8vE1, W1vE2, W2vE3, W3vE4, W4vE5, W5vE6, W6vE7.
ROUND 17: E1vW7, E2vW8, E3vW1, E4vW2, E5vW3, E6vW4, E7vW5.
ROUND 18: W6vE1, W7vE2, W8vE3, W1vE4, W2vE5, W3vE6, W4vE7.
ROUND 19: E1vW5, E2vW6, E3vW7, E4vW8, E5vW1, E6vW2, E7vW3.
ROUND 20: W4vE1, W5vE2, W6vE3, W7vE4, W8vE5, W1vE6, W2vE7.
ROUND 21: E1vW3, E2vW4, E3vW5, E4vW6, E5vW7, E6vW8, E7vW1.
ROUND 22: W2vE1, W3vE2, W4vE3, W5vE4, W6vE5, W7vE6, W8vE7.
In the above fixtures the East Conference teams are called E1, E2,…, E7 and the West Conference teams W1, W2, …, W8.
What he said! Conferences get more complex however if you have venue-sharing and non-mirror conferences involving, say, 2nd XIs of teams.
cheers mate that has really helped me
Hi Good stuff you’ve got. I need one for 24, 17 and 11 teams. This will be for about a month and a half each for 3 days a week
Hi everyone. Got a quandry here that I’m trying to figure out. I have three divisions of 9 teams each (one BYE in each division), and want each team to play each other THREE TIMES in a season. So 24 matches each. What I’d ideally like is for each team to play 12 home and 12 away matches. But the way I’ve figured it out only half the teams achieve this, with the other half playing 13 at home and 11 away or vice versa. Any help would be appreciated
It was asked earlier re storing result to a database, has anyone completed this and if so could it be made available.
Steve,
I guess this fixture plan should solve your problem. The 9 teams are called A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1, D2, and E1. (Teams with same letter are never both at home in the same league round.) All teams get 12 home and 12 away matches:

8 teams =14 games what would be the draw?
See the Fixture Generator link at the top of the page, Laurie
Hi there
I hope you can help with this one. I cant figure it out.
I have 9 softball teams and 4 diamonds to play on.
What Im after is this:
After each round one of the teams must stay on the diamond but go to the opposite side (So if they started in the home position, in the next round they would move to the away position)
Once they have played 2 games on one diamond they would move onto another diamond and play both home/away sides, then move on etc.
In the end they would have played twice on each diamond with one bye.
I hope Im making sense, and I would be forever grateful f you can solve this for me!
Cheers
Sorry I should also note, each team only plays another team once
Leanne,
you can use the fixture generator on top of this page, with 9 teams. You just then ignore rounds 10-18, and ignore the first line in eax\ch round (containing the non-existing 10th team). The fixture list left then includes 4 games in each of the 9 rounds. The first line in each round is the diamond 1 game, the second line the diamond 2 game and so on. That will give you a fixture list where each team plays 4 home and 4 away games, two games (one home and one away) on each diamond, and all teams have home and away games in perfect alteration. I hope this solves your problem.
Hi i desperatley need a 14 team fixture which has a few conditions on it.
1 no team can have more than 2 consecutive home and away games in a row.
2 teams playing in the 1st round home must be away in the last round.
James,
if you click on my name you’ll be taken to an online store with several fixture plans. The “14 teams” fixture list takes care of your condition No 1. If you ignore rounds 14-26 in the fixture list and instead let the second half of the season be a mirror of the first(that is: Round 14 = Round 13, but with opposite venues (home match becomes away match and vice versa), Round 15 = Mirror of round 12, Round 16 = Mirror of round 11, and so on, then you have a fixture list which also meets your condition No 2. In addition all teams will have one home and one away match in the first two rounds, and also in the last two rounds.
Ok thanks, the condition 2 solution is not going to work as it means round 1 the teams don’t play each other till round 26. its too long before they play each other is there another combo which allows for this or is it mathematically impossible?
any help would be appreciated
the other problem is with a
16 team, is achieving
1 a true home and away where every team alternated each week
2 the home team is away int he last round, but same deal cannot be round 1 is the mirror of round 30, too far away from each other .
any help would be great
James,
perhaps this fixture paln can help you.The teams are called A1, A2, B1, B2, and so on. A1 and A2 are never at home in the same round, B1 snd B2 are never at home in the same round, and so on.
Both your criterias are meat as far as I can tell.
Ionly give you rounds 1-13.Rounds 14-26 are identicalwith Nos 1-13. (That is round 14 = round 1, but with reversed venue – home team becoming away team, and vice versa.

One can do it a similar way for a 16-team league.
Hi thanks for the 14 team , worked well.
i am still having issues with the 16 team.
i cannot have the round 1 opposite to round 30, its too far away.
I want as clsoe as i can to home and away with maxium of only 2 consectutive teams away or home.
i ve looked through examples i cant see a solution, so many have the round 15 and round 16 the same draw but opposite. I do need the home teams in round 1 away on round 30.
any urgent help would be good.
James, if you liked my 14-team league solution you will also likemy 16-team solution. I will have it up here for you within a day or two. I have just too much to do right now.
OK, here’s my suggestion for a solution to James’s 16-team problem.
Same principle as for the 14-team league. Just showing rounds 1-15. Round 16 = round 1 (on opposite venue), round 17 = round 2, and so on.
