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)?

Sorry – I missed out ‘the remainder from’ after ‘why’!

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.

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?

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
