Package Exports

roundrobin

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (roundrobin) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Round Robin

A simple round robin tournament match scheduler using the standard scheduling algorithm.

Usage

Simply give the number of players (with an optional players array), and it will spit out the array of rounds necessary:

var robin = require('roundrobin');
robin(6);
[ [ [ 1, 6 ], [ 2, 5 ], [ 3, 4 ] ],
  [ [ 5, 1 ], [ 6, 4 ], [ 2, 3 ] ],
  [ [ 1, 4 ], [ 5, 3 ], [ 6, 2 ] ],
  [ [ 3, 1 ], [ 4, 2 ], [ 5, 6 ] ],
  [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 6 ], [ 4, 5 ] ] ]

// or with names supplied
robin(6, ['clux', 'lockjaw', 'pibbz', 'xeno', 'e114', 'eclipse']);
[ [ [ 'clux', 'eclipse' ], [ 'lockjaw', 'e114' ], [ 'pibbz', 'xeno' ] ],
  [ [ 'e114', 'clux' ], [ 'eclipse', 'xeno' ], [ 'lockjaw', 'pibbz' ] ],
  [ [ 'clux', 'xeno' ], [ 'e114', 'pibbz' ], [ 'eclipse', 'lockjaw' ] ],
  [ [ 'pibbz', 'clux', ], [ 'xeno', 'lockjaw' ], [ 'e114', 'eclipse' ] ],
  [ [ 'clux', 'lockjaw' ], [ 'pibbz', 'eclipse' ], [ 'xeno', 'e114' ] ] ]

Home/Away Matches

In version 2.0.0 or greater, the outputted order of the match arrays denote which player is "home" or "away":

[ 'away', 'home' ] // index 0 is away and index 1 is home

This can be used to indicate home/away in sports, white/black in chess, etc.
