I sent you an email to madkins007(at)yahoo.com \n\nIn it, I put a basic spreadsheet that should be a good start for you.

ok here is the break down:\nwin=3 points\ntie (or draw) = 1 point\nlose = 0 points\nin case there is a tie in points, then goal differential is used (goals scored minus goals against).

It's called "The Lifeboat Game" used for team building. Check link below for info/instructions

You can't have a *balanced* 15 game schedule with 7 teams - to keep it balanced you need to have games played be a multiple of 6. 6, 12, 18, ...  My experience - just go with the 15 game schedule - use it to create a seeding for a playoff format ... that way there's less sensitivity about potential *unfairness* of having to play a particular team more than some other team might have to play that same team.

First, I am not sure why you call this factoring. This is not factoring. \n\nThink of it this way. If each of the teams play each other once, there are G1=[N^2-N]/2 games. To see that this is true, just compute either \n\nN choose 2 = N!/[(N-2)!2!]=[N^2-N]/2 \n\nor \n\nmake a matrix with the N teams as both rows and columns. Every element of the matrix constitutes a game between two teams, one in the corresponding row and one in the corresponding column. One has to disregard the N diagonal elements, because a team cannot play itself, so there are a total of N^2-N games in the matrix, without the diagonal. Since this includes games when A plays B as well as B plays A, we have to divide by 2, to get again [N^2-N]/2.\n\nIf each of the teams play each other 2 times, there are G2=N^2-N games. To see this, just imagine the matrix of team-labelled columns and rows again, and subtract the diagonals again, so that both the games between A and B and between B and A are included, for a total of 2 games between each pair of teams. The number of elements in the matrix is N^2-N, ignoring the diagonal elements again. \n\nFor the teams to play each other 3 times, they can just play the one game schedule, and then the 2 game schedule, for a total of 3 times between each pair of teams, so:\n\nG3=G1+G2=(3/2)*[N^2-N]\n\nFor N=7, this is just 1.5*[49-7]=1.5*42=63.\n\nThere are 63 total games played.

It depends on matches the team has played against other teams. Further explained in the website below from the Federation International of Football Association

I have one made up for this year.  30 teams rotating weekly for 28 weeks.  I'm already fed up with my office pool, since 5 teams have done it already.  One guy has won twice in the first two weeks.\n\nIf you want me to email it to you, I'd be happy to.  It's in Excel format.

Here is a 19 week schedule so every team plays each team one time\nhttp://www.crowsdarts.com/roundrobin/sched20.html

depends on how the league is set up\nb

That would put an odd number of teams in each league.  An even number is needed in order for each team to be playing regularly.

A few questions - unless I'm missing somethiing here.\n\n1.  Each team has to play 19 games in order for all to play each other?   That means 190 games in that time frame?\n\n2. Not familiar with the term 'pitches'.  Is this another word for 'playing fields' ?  \n\n3. If it's youth football - is there a time limit to the game?\n\n4. Do you have to schedule a playoff at the end?\n\n---------\nOK -  You obviously sustained a moment of insanity when you volunteered for this.  \nYou have your hands full on this one. \nI'm still trying to digest it all. \nWill let you know if I come up with something.\nGood luck Mom!

goal difference or goal differential\n\ntaken into account when teams are tied on points.
