70.144.204.33: Round Robin (2009-01-25 14:34) [#5754]

A javascript page to generate round robin pairings is here:

I believe the original term in French meant "round ribbon". This term makes sense since an odd number of players on a closed "belt" or "ribbon" march around a long table while one player on the end stays put. Somehow the word for "ribbon" was mis-translated to "robin" and the term stuck.

The pages about Round Robing scheduling are really interesting. I was wondering how useful other automatic scheduling sites can be such as http://www.CardsTourney.com
