Please help - newbie bridge league coordinator
I need help figuring out how to create a grid for 14 teams for party bridge ( 28 players). Each team is fixed and we plan on playing 4 rounds each month for 8 months. Want to make sure everyone plays everyone as much as possible .
Is there a formula I can use to come up with such a grid / table movement

I have a grid for 16 teams and 20 teams that out league previously used ( if anyone needs those lol) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to translate :-? :-? that into a 14 team version.

Attaching a pic of what my chart of 16 teams looks like

Use the standard round-robin that you can find by following the 'schedules' link near the top of this page and selecting 14 items.  This will give you the first 13 rounds, another copy will take you to 26 rounds, then take the final 6 rounds from the top of a third copy.  If you don't want to have the same opponents in the same order for each copy, then make a different assignment of the 14 teams to the numbers 1 to 14 for each copy.

Thx it took me a bit of figuring out that "match" will become "table" but in the end I think I got it with the grid you have
Thx for your help !
