If we can get 8 teams, we can play. If not then I will postpone the tournament.
If we can get 8 teams, we can play 70 matches (2 matches at the same time) with different combinations of teams.
I will probably pick 14 matches to play if the tournament takes place between Christmas and New Year.
These are the possibilities(for 8teams):
Left row can be played at the same time as the right row.
