Note: Over the course of a balanced schedule everyone will play in every match place and on both sides of each match place. No one will have unfair advantage due to repeated placement at a specific match place or side. Because there is one less round than players, each player will be in one match place where they play on just one side.
A balanced schedule for 11 can be made by looking at the cyclic schedule and using Match 1 for those sitting out a round.
