I need a schedule for 10 teams to play once a week for 9 weeks and if possible. to have the 5 top teams to play each other in first 4 or 5 weeks, And then reversed in the last weeks. Want the top teams to have a tougher schedule in the beginning and easier at the end. Teams are 1,2,3 etc. in order of standing.
Thanks

If you had 8 or 12 teams it would be easy: hold simultaneous round robins at first and then meet each member of the other half in the second part of the schedule. The closest to that would be to have simultaneous round robins with five teams each and have each team with the bye meet the other team with a bye for that round like 1-6 4-9 2-7 5-10 3-8 being the only matchups for the first five rounds outside of their group.
Starting with:
1 4 2 5 3
6 9 7 10 8
rotate the bottom line by one for each new round. Use this table (http://home.comcast.net/~wporter211/realsite/chess_etc/rrpair.htm) for a six player field as is or by adding 5 to each player. You might also want to assign the pairing numbers 1-5 and 6-10 randomly.
