You can create ABCDE pairings with fivesomes using our Automatic Scheduler when creating pairings for a round.
To do this, first, go to Rounds > Round Profile > Scheduling Settings. Make sure you are set to play fivesomes.
Then, go to Rounds > Create New Pairings > Automatic Scheduling. In the Further Schedule By tab, select "ABCDE". (as shown below)
The following options will be available:
Place A's from low to high, B's from high to low, and continue alternating: Take a look at the following ABCDE pairings: ( as shown below)
The pairings are being created with the "snake" ordering.Random: Create absolutely random pairings by ABCDE. Do not look at previous rounds to balance the scheduling. Simply identify players as A, B, C, D, and E players and organize as such.
After deciding on the ABCDE option, click "Save", "Continue"
The ABCDE pairings will be created. Click on "Additional Information" and select "index" to view the indexes next to the players' names. (as shown below)
You can also go to Rounds > Round Player Roster > and sort the players by index. By doing this, we will place the players in their ABCDE "buckets" for easy viewing.
