Hi, wondering if anyone can help solve a query I have.
I've been tasked with setting up a local darts league and want to make it fir regarding start of play times.

We have 14 players and i wish to distribute these players between 7:30 and 10:30 for start times in 30 minute intervals.

Any sort of formula/cheat table so everyone gets the same amount of 7:30 starts and 10:30 starts this is because people may complain if they keep getting late starts and the online league software we are using seems to prefer alphabetical order so someone with the letter 'A' at the start of their name gets to play at 7:30 14 times out of 26 games.

any advice?
