Benchmarks

The below table gives the maximum number of experiment rounds possible using this package for different numbers of participants and group sizes.

Groups per Round	2	3	1	1	1	1
	3	5	4	1	1	1
	4	7	4	5	1	1
	5	9	7	5	6	1

Green cells indicate that this is a known optimal number of rounds. Orange cells indicate that a predefined set of groupings is used as published by Both et al. (2016). Blue cells indicate an algorithmic approach which yields a number of rounds greater than or equal to that given by Both et al. (2016).
