I am looking for a Euchre Round Robin Tournament 14 people 3 tables with 11 rounds. I saw your post with 7 rounds and that looks great. I will adopt. But if someone can show me 10-11-12 rounds with 14 players, 3 tables (with byes of course) I would be greatful. :D

For several reasons it it best to look for schedules with a multiple of 7 rounds.  The primary motivation is to allow all players to have the same number of games, however it also makes the schedule easier to construct.  So below I give a schedule for 14 rounds of play.  Here the 14 players are numbered 0 to 13.

    Table 1         Table 2          Table 3        Byes
(5 10 : 1 12)  ( 3 13 :  0  9)  ( 6  4 :  7 11)   ( 2  8)
(6 11 : 2 13)  ( 4  7 :  1 10)  ( 0  5 :  8 12)   ( 3  9)
(0 12 : 3  7)  ( 5  8 :  2 11)  ( 1  6 :  9 13)   ( 4 10)
(1 13 : 4  8)  ( 6  9 :  3 12)  ( 2  0 : 10  7)   ( 5 11)
(2  7 : 5  9)  ( 0 10 :  4 13)  ( 3  1 : 11  8)   ( 6 12)
(3  8 : 6 10)  ( 1 11 :  5  7)  ( 4  2 : 12  9)   ( 0 13)
(4  9 : 0 11)  ( 2 12 :  6  8)  ( 5  3 : 13 10)   ( 1  7)
(2  5 : 3  4)  (13 12 :  7  1)  ( 9 11 :  8  0)   (10  6)
(3  6 : 4  5)  ( 7 13 :  8  2)  (10 12 :  9  1)   (11  0)
(4  0 : 5  6)  ( 8  7 :  9  3)  (11 13 : 10  2)   (12  1)
(5  1 : 6  0)  ( 9  8 : 10  4)  (12  7 : 11  3)   (13  2)
(6  2 : 0  1)  (10  9 : 11  5)  (13  8 : 12  4)   ( 7  3)
(0  3 : 1  2)  (11 10 : 12  6)  ( 7  9 : 13  5)   ( 8  4)
(1  4 : 2  3)  (12 11 : 13  0)  ( 8 10 :  7  6)   ( 9  5)


I am sorry that I can't offer a solution to the 11 round problem, however I think you will find it easier to remove 3 rounds from above, rather than trying to add 4 new rounds to the 7 round schedule that you mentioned.  If you can play the full 14 rounds then all players will have 12 different partners and never oppose the same  player more than twice.

Thank you for the feedback. Trying to figure out how to make a 14 person round table work with 3 tables is not easy. If I go 7 rounds the night will end early. If I go 14 rounds then the night might end badly (to much alcohol). I am going to work with the 7 rounds. Thanks again for your brackets I will use them in the future.
