There are some people who run relatively small games. It might be nice if there was a Howell movement for 4-5-6 table games, where all oppnents are faced, rather than playing a "revenge round" against the same opponents played in round one. I suspect creating a Howell movement would not prove to be terribly difficult. Any thoughts?

4 tables = 8 pairs = 7 opponents => 21 or 28 boards
5 tables = 10 pairs = 9 opponents => 27 boards
6 tables = 12 pairs = 11 opponents => 22 or 33 boards
If you want to play 24 or 26 boards then you have to go to the high number and curtail, which is really what a 3/4 Howell is doing.

I know what the pairings would be and the boards to played are. I wnat to know if BBO software is set up to automatically coordinate and run a Howell movement?
