Double Round-Robin program

Hi,

I am looking for a program that pairs players for a round robin tournament.

I would like it to have the following features:

• Shows who should play who in each round with each colour
• Shows a cross table like this one
• Easy to use
• Free
• And preferably not requiring installation

If anyone has a spreadsheet that does this, and they would like to share it then please do; a spreadsheet would also work fine.

Thanks, ThomasJEvans

This may or may not help.  If not, it didn't take long to whip it together.  Here are double-round robin pairings for a tourney with 4, 6, and 8 players:

(In each pairing, the first number is White.)

Hi MrEdCollins,

Those are what are known as Berger tables; they are actually provided by FIDE here (scroll down to Annex 1 for them).

I am actually looking for a program or spreadsheet that can when the players' names are inputted, tells me who plays who in each round (with each colour), and then I can put in the result, and then shows me a cross table.

I have tried to create a spreadsheet that does this for me, but I am finding this very difficult. If it helps, I can upload the spreadsheet that I have so far if anyone can help complete it; if anyone does waht to have a go at doing that, then post here or message me and I will get the spreadsheet through to you somehow (probably through Google Drive).

Of course, a program that does this all for me will do just fine.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I work with Excel spreadsheets every day.  If you send me what you've got so far, I can probably finish it / fix it.  I probably won't be able to start it until tonight, however.

I don't have a problem listing my e-mail address here, in a public forum.  It's edwardcollins@yahoo.com

Ok; thanks. I'll get the spreadsheet to you in a few minutes.

Received.  Thanks.
