Please disregard those results, for some of them are wrong due to a flaw in the validation.
From now on, I strongly recommand not to use the version 1.5e but version 1.5f :
Excel: www.vekn.net/images/stories/downloads/thearchon1.5f.xlsx
LibreOffice: www.vekn.net/images/stories/downloads/thearchon1.5f.ods
I've been working recently on the 2R+F optimal seatings of the archons, and I've found some more "optimal" seatings than the current ones. The search has been done through exhaustive computations so I doubt there will be better results.
Of course, there's more than one seating that is optimal, but they're all equivalent. For instance, for 10 players:
T1: 4 9 2 7 1 T2: 10 3 5 6 8
and
T1: 4 8 2 6 1 T2: 10 5 9 3 7
are the same in respect to rules 1 to 8. They both violate rule 2 (2. No pair of players share a table through all two rounds, when possible. (N/A in some 2R event.)).
Starting transfers can't be equitably distributed (rule
because there are 28 transfers to divide between 10 players.
Nevertheless, in the first case, we have an absolute deviation of 0,72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10 have 5 transfers | 5, 8 have 7 transfers | 7, 9 have 6 transfers
In the second case, an absolute deviation of 0,72 too: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 have 5 transfers | 3, 9 have 7 transfers | 5, 7 have 6 transfers.
Basically, some players swap their positions. We'll choose arbitrarily one of the optimal seatings as the official one.
The current optimal seating for 10 players is:
T1: 10 1 4 7 3 T2: 5 6 9 2 8
Which gives us an absolute deviation of 1,28: 1, 6 have 3 transfers | 2, 7 have 6 transfers | 3, 4, 8, 9 have 7 transfers | 5, 10 have 5 transfers
which is worse (we have 2 players with 3 transfers).
The optimal seatings will be updated in the next version of the archon, here's the current "best" optimal seatings:
(NB: in some cases, rule "3. Available VPs are equitably distributed." is violated too, when the tables have different sizes. The optimal seating is the one with the smaller absolute deviation on the vps).

Computing results for 30+ players in progress...
* didn't perform an exhaustive search
From now on, I strongly recommand not to use the version 1.5e but version 1.5f :
Excel: www.vekn.net/images/stories/downloads/thearchon1.5f.xlsx
LibreOffice: www.vekn.net/images/stories/downloads/thearchon1.5f.ods
I've been working recently on the 2R+F optimal seatings of the archons, and I've found some more "optimal" seatings than the current ones. The search has been done through exhaustive computations so I doubt there will be better results.
Of course, there's more than one seating that is optimal, but they're all equivalent. For instance, for 10 players:
T1: 4 9 2 7 1 T2: 10 3 5 6 8
and
T1: 4 8 2 6 1 T2: 10 5 9 3 7
are the same in respect to rules 1 to 8. They both violate rule 2 (2. No pair of players share a table through all two rounds, when possible. (N/A in some 2R event.)).
Starting transfers can't be equitably distributed (rule
because there are 28 transfers to divide between 10 players.Nevertheless, in the first case, we have an absolute deviation of 0,72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10 have 5 transfers | 5, 8 have 7 transfers | 7, 9 have 6 transfers
In the second case, an absolute deviation of 0,72 too: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 have 5 transfers | 3, 9 have 7 transfers | 5, 7 have 6 transfers.
Basically, some players swap their positions. We'll choose arbitrarily one of the optimal seatings as the official one.
The current optimal seating for 10 players is:
T1: 10 1 4 7 3 T2: 5 6 9 2 8
Which gives us an absolute deviation of 1,28: 1, 6 have 3 transfers | 2, 7 have 6 transfers | 3, 4, 8, 9 have 7 transfers | 5, 10 have 5 transfers
which is worse (we have 2 players with 3 transfers).
The optimal seatings will be updated in the next version of the archon, here's the current "best" optimal seatings:

Seating for 17 players is interesting: the current archon has a better absolute deviation for VPs, and a worse one for transfers.
And no, you can't have both
Question is: would you favor the transfers so they are more equitably distributed, or the VPs (ie: how many times you sit at a 4-players table)?

Another thing is: would you like to play your 2 rounds on a 4 players table and have more transfers, or play a 5-players and a 4-players tables with "slightly" less transfers ("slightly" being the big unknown).

I'll do a test and keep only the best deviation for VPs (0.5) and see what we obtain as transfer deviation.Timo wrote:

I would rather the VPs be more equitably distributed than the transfers.
I guess you have to balance your data.
Because going from 0.5 to 0.56 for the VP is no big deal but going from 0.93 to 0.31 for transfers is more important (IMO).
