Round-robin tournament schedule
A round-robin tournament is also known as an all-play-all-tournament; each participant plays every other participant once.
For N participants the number of rounds is N-1 if N is an even number. When there are an odd number of participants then each round one contestor has no opponent (AKA as a "bye"). The number of rounds is N in that case.
- Task
Write a program that prints out a tournament schedule for 12 participants (represented by numbers 1 to 12).

There must obviously be an odd number of teams -- in the circle itself, otherwise pairing-offs won't meet in the middle. -- -- However, rather than physically rotate the {1,2,3,4,5}, we'll just say -- that anything past 5 starts from 1 again (the -= n below), and use the -- shorthand of l [===length(result)] as our starting position/offset. -- -- Not shown above, but we'll also use even/odd rules for home/away matches. -- integer rotor = iff(even(n)?n:0), l = 0 -- length(result), shorthand n -= even(n) -- (circle must be odd) sequence result = {} for rownd=1 to n do -- (since "round" is a builtin) sequence games = {iff(even(rownd) or rotor=0?{rownd,rotor}:{rotor,rownd})} integer opponent = n -- pair rest off from last inwards, for m=2 to (n+1)/2 do -- such that m plays current opponent integer rom = m+l, -- all shifted by rop = opponent+l -- l as an offset if rom>n then rom -= n end if if rop>n then rop -= n end if games &= iff(odd(m)?{{rom,rop}}:{{rop,rom}}) opponent -= 1 end for result = append(result,games) l += 1 -- (obviously "l = length(result)" works fine here too) end for return result end function function vs(sequence pair) -- (display helper) return sprintf(iff(pair[2]=0?"%2d bye ":"%2d vs %-2d"),pair) end function for test=12 to 3 by -9 do sequence res = round_robin(test) printf(1,"\nFor %d teams:\n",test) for r=1 to length(res) do printf(1,"Round %2d: %s\n",{r,join(apply(res[r],vs))}) end for end for

While I "optimised away" the need for a physical rotate, obviously not because I was concerned with performance but more in the hope of creating shorter and more elegant code, in the end it made little difference. Should it be more to your taste, you can remove "l" and replace the inner loop above with:
sequence circle = tagset(n) for rownd=1 to n do -- (since "round" is a bultin) integer r = circle[1] sequence games = {iff(even(rownd) or rotor=0?{r,rotor}:{rotor,r})} integer ldx = 2, rdx = n while ldx<rdx do integer teama = circle[ldx], teamb = circle[rdx] games &= {iff(odd(ldx)?{teama,teamb},{teamb,teama})} ldx += 1 rdx -= 1 end while result = append(result,games) circle = circle[2..$]&circle[1] -- (physically rotate it) end for
