Carry-Over tournament design for 7+7=14 players

Julian D. A. Wiseman, March 2002

This is a carry-over tournament design for 7+7=14 players. It therefore assumes that two qualifying leagues (called ‘Roman’ and ‘Italic’) have played an all-play-all, and that the top 6 players from each are through to the final. In the final these 14 players are then to play each other, except that games already played between them are ‘carried over’. The players in the Roman league are called A, B, C, etc, and those in the Italic league a, b, c, etc.

It was last updated in March 2002, and is based on an original by Dr Nicholas F. J. Inglis of The Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at The University of Cambridge.
