12 players to play a snooker game over 11 weeks . Who plays who each week?
To determine the pairings for each week in a snooker game with 12 players over 11 weeks, you can use a round-robin tournament format. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Create a list of all the players. Let's label them as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, and L.
Step 2: Divide the 12 players into two groups of six players each. You can use any criteria, such as skill level or random assignment, to split them. Let's label the two groups as Group 1 and Group 2.
Step 3: In each week, each player from Group 1 will play against a player from Group 2. To create the pairings, you can use a round-robin schedule.
Here's an example of how the pairings could be set up over the 11 weeks:
Week 1: A vs. G, B vs. H, C vs. I, D vs. J, E vs. K, F vs. L
Week 2: A vs. H, B vs. I, C vs. J, D vs. K, E vs. L, F vs. G
Week 3: A vs. I, B vs. J, C vs. K, D vs. L, E vs. G, F vs. H
Week 4: A vs. J, B vs. K, C vs. L, D vs. G, E vs. H, F vs. I
Week 5: A vs. K, B vs. L, C vs. G, D vs. H, E vs. I, F vs. J
Week 6: A vs. L, B vs. G, C vs. H, D vs. I, E vs. J, F vs. K
Week 7: A vs. G, B vs. H, C vs. I, D vs. J, E vs. K, F vs. L
Week 8: A vs. H, B vs. I, C vs. J, D vs. K, E vs. L, F vs. G
Week 9: A vs. I, B vs. J, C vs. K, D vs. L, E vs. G, F vs. H

You can modify this schedule based on your preferences or any additional criteria you may have.
