We have constructed lists of shift patterns (rosters, rotas) used in "discontinuous" operations covering 6 days a week. A discontinuous operation is one in which shifts are rostered to cover part of the day but not the full 24 hours. They are based on the following number of teams:

2 teams
3 teams
6 teams
9 teams
12 teams

Each list is available in the following formats:

Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
Microsoft Word document
RotaBase (a database of rotas that can be opened by our two software products, RotaBase and RotaView)
