To the guru, sage, developers of RBase:
Every year I have gone with my business friends to Myrtle Beach for a "golf
happening".
Every year I try to come up with a solution.
I have been going for 5 years now and am ready to consult the guru's.
Here's the issue that I am requesting help with:
Known facts:
1. We have approximately 25 golfers that show up.
2. We play for six days all 25 golfers.
3. We take the total number of players and compute into foursomes and
threesomes.
4. The first day paring is done by unit assignments (usually four to a
unit)
5. The second day starts the problem. Everything works great for the first
day but I start to have problems with the second and thereafter days because
of this rule: a player must play with a different set of golfers the next
days. So if player one played with 2,3, 4 on day 1, any combination of 2,
3, 4 in any of the next five days is less than desired. We have never been
able to get it to work.
I created a matrix in to try to drive the combinations but usually run out
of good combinations by day 4. Is it mathematically possible?
Reward for solution.
