More Randomised Round Robin Fixtures

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Shedule Matches
2. Select Round-Robin
3. Change *Seed the bracket N times:* to 2
4. Add teams
5. Create League.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Currently the fixtures are created and each team plays every other team in
the same order in the second half of the season as in the first half of the
season.

I would prefer it if the second half of the season could be re-randomised
so that you dont face the teams in the same order as you did in the first
half of the season.

What version of the product are you using?
v0.8 ;)

Please provide any additional information below.

Another suggestion: We had to manually reschedule our 13 team RR (2xseed) league
since it was unfair. My team would have face all season long with those teams 
who
came from a match facing a dwarf team. I suggest to implement more randomness 
to the
scheduling algorithm.

Unfortunately the manual adjustment made funnyfinger's new code to allow 
visitors to
host unable to work since it is based on match IDs and not the round values.

I can't and won't add more randomeness. The PHP shuffle() function should be, 
and is, enough. If it truly IS random, your unlucky scheduling is indeed 
possible - it's just random you got that unlucky schedule.

r715.

When re-seeding a bracket, the order of the rounds are now shuffled each time.

Hi,

Is there any way to revert this back?

There are leagues that prefer to have the second half of the season exactly as 
the first one. 
To be honest, I really don't understand why this was changed in the first 
place. The standard in every major football league and almost every Round Robin 
competition in real world is to have both halves in the same order.

I consider this a minor detail. It is just the order in which the match entries 
are displayed. This does not limit you to play the matches in another order. 
Really this should make no difference to anybody, and I'll not change it back. 
Both are equally good. You'll have to look at the changes of r712 to see what I 
changed.

Ok, no problem, I'll revert my leagues to the old version then. (It's r715, not 
r712.)

But maybe the help text could be changed?? Just to warn about this 
randomization. Considering that most real-life Round Robins brackets are not 
randomized, a lot of users will be expecting identical halves for their seasons 
and they might think this is a bug.
