Hello,

sorry if this scenario has already been posted - I tried searching for it, but I haven't had success. I need help creating a schedule for beer olympics. There are 12 teams and 6 games. I'd like each team to play each other once and have each team play a game no more than twice (I don't know if that is possible, but if not, have each team play each game at least once). We are aiming for 11 rounds of regular play. 12th round will be

Can anyone help with this?

This is possible.  You could use the 2nd schedule in reply#1 here, where the six columns are the 6 games.  In addition to what you request below, each team plays each game exactly once in rounds 1-6, and exactly once in rounds 6-11, which means that no team will play the same game back-to-back.  I have counted round 6 twice, so these teams are the ones who play a game only once, for example all teams apart from A & B play game 1 twice.
