How do you make an odd number teams softball schedule?

Answer 1

Each team plays each other twice, once home, and once away. This gives each team an even number of games, equal the number of teams minus one, twice.

Equation:

T=number of teams

G=number of games

C=number of times playing each team

If there are seven teams, and you want each team to play one another twice:

(T-1)*C=G

(T-1)*2=G

(7-1)*2=G

6*2=G

12=G, so each team in a seven team league plays each other team twice, hence 12 games for each team.

If you want to play each team three times, four times, etc, the equation works the same.
