competitions-scheduler 0.2.5.post1

Generic schedulers for competitions

The goal of this package is to provide high-quality, randomized schedule generators for competitions, particularly leagues. The schedulers generate lists of rounds for competitions when provided a list of teams or a team count.

Right now, this library supports schedule generation for pure round-robin competitions. While special wrappers are provided for round-robin leagues with between 1 and 4 meetings between teams, competitions with more meetings are possible.

There will be a v0.3, but I don’t know what should be in it. Should I clone scheduling formulas from real sports leagues? Do you want knockout cups, playoffs, or more predictable round-robin scheduling? I won’t know unless you tell me. Open feature requests on this project’s GitHub repo and tell me what you want to see in version 0.3!
