Are there charts available for odd number of players? We have an informal pool game at the local VFW every Saturday. We play in teams, double elimination. Often times there are only five teams, or maybe seven, or eleven. I have been asked if I will run the pool tourney, but, am at a loss as how to play off odd numbers of teams. Help please!

You give certain teams "byes" so that they automatically move up in the draw. E.g. if you have 7 teams, one team gets a bye while the other six play, leaving four teams in the next round. If you want to play double elimination, use two separate "single elimination" charts, with the winner of each draw playing in the "finals". If the same team wins in both of the draws, you don't need a finals.
