Let's Play a Game

There is a game I've seen on store shelves called "Split the Ward". I know nothing about how the game is played but I thought what I would like to do here would be similar.

Here is the history: This past Sunday our ward boundaries were changed...again. When we first moved here our ward boundaries were one big triangle. The first change only changed one side of the ward; from the boundary being the backyards of homes on a major road to middle of the road. About 5 years ago they split that triangle in half. Sort of. The change on Sunday made that triangle into three wards. About a year and a half ago they split our Stake in half. There were about 16 wards in the stake before the split. We were left with 8 but Sunday made 2 new wards, one obviously not affecting our ward.

One of the changes taking place Sunday was the assignment of wards to a new building. This new building is on 1200 West which is close to the Stake Center where we have been attending. This is where the game comes in. Pretend that you are in charge of assigning wards to the different buildings available. You have to take into consideration distance, time traveled, surrounding ward boundaries, etc. Some of the things you should know is:

*Beside the wards listed in the scan there is one ward from another stake (our previous stake) attending the building in the Sandridge boundary (on 1000 W).
*There is also a singles ward that has been attending the building in the Bluff Ridge boundary (on 2700 S) but you can make them go wherever you feel like it.
*I have colored the ward boundaries to make it a little easier to see the boundary lines. I have also colored the streets yellow and the major streets orange-ish.
*The newly formed wards are Jensen Park and Harmony Bluff.
*You need to list the ward, building, and time. Such as: Sandridge, 1000 W, 9a.m.
*The times available, in case you don't already know such things are 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 1 p.m. with a maximum of 3 wards per building.

The last thing I'll do is list all of the wards alphabetically so you know what you have to deal with.
1. Bluff Ridge
2. Harmony Bluff
3. Heritage (singles)
4. Jensen Park
5. Sandridge
6. Silver Lakes
7. South Bluff
8. Spring Haven
9. Walnut Grove
10. Whisper Wood
11. 3rd Ward (in other stake going to 1000 W building)

The ward building names:
1000 West Bldg
2700 South Bldg
1200 West Bldg
Stake Center

Obviously there is something that is bugging me about the assignments, and I was just curious to know how other people not affected by this would make assignments. After a week or so I'll post about what the assignments actually are.
Have fun! ;)


Since it seems you can't enlarge the above scan, here is a link to my picasa album that I HOPE you can see larger.
