Canoe Polo Organizr

Help with organising Canoe Polo competitions

Designed to make it easier to organise Canoe Polo competitions. There are about 10 teams per league, and there are usually 5 days when when the games are played. Each team will play in 4 of these 5 days.

Given a list of matches, the program will optimising the game order, so that teams do not play back to back games if at all possible, and so that teams don't have to wait too long imbetween games.

It does this by optimising for the following ordered

1. The maximum consecutive games a team plays should be minimised (eg one team playing 3 times in a row is less desirable that two teams playing twice in a row)

2. The total number of times team play consecutive matches should be minimised (eg the total number of times any team plays back to back games should be minimised)

3. The amount of games that teams don't play between their first and last games should be minimised (eg teams shouldn't play the first game and then have to wait until the last game)
