It might not be something used in Tournaments commonly, but it is a 
chart/table I've seen *somewhere*.  Unfortunately I can't recall where. 
Scheduling isn't the issue, results are.

Thanks for the google URL, but that is actually something I *did* search 
for. Along with Diagonal Chart, Diagonal Table, Round Robin Diagonal

here.
