202  3

end of do-file


And as a bonus we get the plan matrix in a readable form (add row and
column headers to taste):

. matrix list P

P[3,2]
     c1   c2
r1  102    3
r2  108    5
r3  202    3

Best, Sergiy

PS: uncomment the bootsrap part in both procedures above

The loop right now creates team 101 with 3 members, team 102 with 5 members, team 103 with 3 members, etc. Yes, there's a one-to-one mapping from tt to NN. I basically need two loop indices to change simultaneously. For example, first round (i=103, j=3), second round (i=139, j=5), third round (i=230, j=3). Of course, the real thing is a couple hundred pairs.
