Dumping Archon, creating a new tournament guiding app?

The computing power for calculating the seatings exceeds any server's capabilities when you have more than 20 players (see www.vekn.net/forum/generic-v-tes-discussion/69811-optimal-seatings-changes-3r-f?limitstart=0 )

The best you can do is to take the optimal seating, remove the dropping players, then try adding/permutating players so that the rule 1 and 2 are at least enforced.

Help me to understand it better:
1st round 15 players - Optimal Seating for 15 players
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15
2nd round 17 players - Optimal Seating for 17 players
9 14 10 15 7
5 12 4 2
3 13 17 6
16 1 11 8
3rd round 15 players - Optimal Seating for 17 players
13 8 6 11 16
15 5 14 3
7 4 1 12
2 17 9 10

Lets say 1 and 2 drop early, and turn the tables on: (round 3 for 17 players edited to drop 2 players)
13 8 6 11 16
15 5 14 3 10
7 4 12 17 9

Instead of: ( normal r3 for 15 players )
13 15 2 5 11
14 3 10 1 6
12 8 4 7 9

The optimal seating on round 1 is different from optimal seating on round 3 and the organizer should drop an entire table to ensure that everyone has the correct spots and the seating rules are aplyed

So a server could not handle 20 players but a normal pc or laptop can? How could this be?
In that case maybe do the calculation on client side of the App and the server side is just for data storage.
My goal here is to contribute to a more intuitive, easier to understand, GUI based version of Archon that does not need Excel ir other spreadsheet programm.

i think he is talking about an algorithm to calc with same or better efficiency than the optimal seating

I was talking about the algorithm too. I am sorry for not being specific enough.
