Hi,
I am in need of a round robin format for 12 participants playing doubles, where each player plays with and against each other player, utilizing 3 courts.
Thanks,
Suzi

How many rounds can you play?  If you can manage 11, then follow the schedules link above and look for the Whist schedule for 12 players, this perfect in the sense of all partners exactly once, and all opponents exactly twice.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the reply. I did see that schedule. However, I was hoping there would be a way for participants to play with each other player only once, and against each other player only once. 11 rounds is not a problem. We have plenty of time.
Pls. Advise...Suzi

Suzi,

I think you should go for 11 rounds as this is a nice balanced schedule.  There are always going to be twice as many opponents as partners, so 'with once' and 'against once' is not possible.

Ian.
