Considering that league blocks contain 5 players, the counting mechanism has to be recalculated for Dutch cycles. These numbers are for 6-session events or seasons. These Dutch cycle blocks can drop the last fifth in order to make groups of 4, expanding the solved ranges of players from 80% to 100% of the maximal solutions. For 40, using the social golfer solution below will work for 32 to 40 players. Given the distribution of primes, there is a solution within that 20% range except for 66 and 67 players. | |||
