I have 16 bridge players.  We want to play 8 rounds of Chicago bridge over an eight month period.  Each player is to host twice and play with each person twice.  I need help. Thank you.

There need to be 10 rounds in order that every pair of players meet twice, so you could schedule it over a 37 week period meeting every 4 weeks, this would take approximately 8 and a half months.  For example use Part.0 and Part.1 that you can find here.  It should be relatively easy to assign the hosts by hand to make sure that every player hosts two or three times each.  For example the hosts for the first 4 rounds could be:

round 1    0  1  8  9
round 2    2  5 10 13
round 3    3  4 11 12
round 4    6  7 14 15
