Going by the tourney rules of 5 minutes a match, and by your allowance of 2 minutes per round, we would end up with a 14 hour marathon of a tourney.
That means that if we want to go by around 10 PM, we'd have to start at around 8 AM. Haha ang aga. And I'm sure some people won't be able to stay that late.
The above are the optimistic figures, which is why round robin, as good as it is for us (more play!), is a logistical nightmare.
Everything would be so much better if we had like a condo somewhere which we'd use only when PACT rolls around. We won't be thinking of time, only the electric bill.

Pipe dream parin ang round robin sa PACT. [/quote:4c57121560]
And that is still at 1 round per match...
Wait till you guys hear the best 2 out of 3 calc...
Damning guys... Just plain hellish...
Why? Cause it'll at least DOUBLE the event time.
Yes guys, DOUBLE, in all caps.
But still, I'm working on gow to get this thing going by having the participants and their respective matches distributed within about 2 to 3 units...
Kaso nga lang medyo, nakakahilo yung system...
It's like braiding actually...
Like on a 3 unit event with 9 participants...
Format:
Unit : First Round Player One - Opponents -....
Unit1 : 1 - 4 - 7
Unit2 : 2 - 5 - 8
Unit3 : 3 - 6 - 9
Then, Spin...
Unit1 : 1 - 6 - 9
Unit2 : 2 - 4 - 7
Unit3 : 3 - 5 - 8
Then, Spin again...
Unit1 : 1 - 5 - 8
Unit2 : 2 - 6 - 9
Unit3 : 3 - 4 - 7
Now we managed to finish these matches...
[$] - [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
[1] - [$][_][_][4][5][6][7][8][9]
[2] - [_][$][_][4][5][6][7][8][9]

[8] - [1][2][3][_][_][_][_][$][_]
[9] - [1][2][3][_][_][_][_][_][$]
Then Turn Clockwise and repeat the first three spin patterns...
* Numbers encased in square brackets mean, they're completed
Unit1 : 3 - 2 - 1 / 3 - [9] - [8] / 3 - [6] - [5]
Unit2 : 4 - 6 - 5 / 4 - [2] - [1] / 4 - 9 - 8
Unit3 : 7 - 9 - 8 / 7 - 6 - 5 / 7 - [2] - [1]
Now we managed to finish these matches...
[$] - [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
[1] - [$][_][1][4][5][6][7][8][9]
[2] - [_][$][2][4][5][6][7][8][9]

[8] - [1][2][3][_][_][_][_][$][_]
[9] - [1][2][3][_][_][_][_][_][$]
Then Rotate and Spin and Rotate again, until we finish all the matches...
The good thing is, it will take less time...
The bad thing is, it will take us 2 people to share one tv, via split screen to have it done or... 2 or 4 more TV's , ps2's and I-Link Cables to have the fun done in less time.
That means that if we want to go by around 10 PM, we'd have to start at around 8 AM. Haha ang aga. And I'm sure some people won't be able to stay that late.
