Controlling the size of groups in a round robin stage

[Qanpi]

Hey!

This is a little urgent, since I'm in the middle of running a tournament and have just stumbled into this issue.

I'm trying to divide 14 participants into 4 groups for a round robin stage, like so: 4x4x3x3. However, no matter the seed ordering, I always end up with the following configuration instead: 4x4x4x2. As far as I know, the library does not expose any control over individual group sizes beyond that.

I wouldn't mind writing the code myself, but I'm wondering how feasible that patch would be. From what I gathered, this can't be fixed by adding a custom seed ordering, so I would have to change the group creation mechanism. Would that break something in the process, or is this a theoretical possibility?

Thanks

Alternatively, could I manually adjust the group_id of a match in the database?

Yes you can change the group_id as you wish

Thank you for the quick answer.

In case others face a similar issue, a workaround is to manually change the group_id of several matches in one of the four-player groups to the two-player group. I also had to change the id's of opponents (ParticipantResult) and finally delete one extra match that was generated for the previously four-player group.

I hope this feature can get implemented soon.
