No venue is idle in two consecutive rounds.
No venue is used in two consecutive rounds.
It is seeded, so that important games come late in the tournament if player A is the best, B the second best, etc.
It has a permutation score of 1299.000114848, which is maximal.
It has a left-right asymmetry measure of 0.2820989229, which is minimal given the assignment of games to rounds and venues.
