Duplicated games in a tournament

Chriiiss

Hello, I would like to create a league with 8 players with 7 games 1vs1 and many games 3v3 and 4vs4.
I try a lot of number of games but I have always somes duplicated games. Examples if i ask for 4 4vs4 games per player, it will create the same game x 4 with the same opponents. How can I do ? Thanks in advance

Chriiiss Unfortunately, we are not able to guarantee a better mix of players in games. The algorithm prioritizes the correct number of players meeting each other. It has to be universal enough to suit most situations and combinations of player count, games count, game types, groups. We are still working on improving the algorithm but at this point, we are not able to achieve better results universal to all these combinations with low complexity and computation time.

Thank you for your kind understanding.

Chriiiss I think this can work well with 7 players in a league:
6x 2-player game (every opponent 1x)
3x 3-player game (every opponent 1x)
4x 4-player game (every opponent 2x)

For 2p,3p and 4p games, 7 (players) is the magic number

With 8 players you cant have "fair" distribution of 3p and 4p games, just go with random setup algorithm gives you...
If you dont want duplicates, pick 2x4p and 3x3p

Even though, I never created tournament, thats just my guess how it should work

For 32 players i had 4x 2p 6x 3p and 5x 4p. It created all same 4p combinations. 5x 4p duplicates. That is just crazy. What could have I done in this example? Everyone should have met everyone else 1 times on average. Now i play 5x the same 4p games and so does almost everyone else.
