Title: Whist style tourney
Post by: Kara329 on January 05, 2020, 10:49:55 PM
I am looking for a whist style schedule for 10 player doubles pickleball on two courts for 9 weeks.  We want each player to have a different partner each game and have one player have one bye each week.  Any suggestions are appreciated. 
thanks

It would be much better to have 10 weeks, then each player can have exactly 2 bye rounds, and exactly 8 games.  For example:

( 5  6 v  8  9)  (4  3 v 2 10)  (1  7)
( 1  7 v  9 10)  (5  4 v 3  6)  (2  8)
( 2  8 v 10  6)  (1  5 v 4  7)  (3  9)
( 3  9 v  6  7)  (2  1 v 5  8)  (4 10)
( 4 10 v  7  8)  (3  2 v 1  9)  (5  6)
   
( 8 10 v  9  5)  (1  6 v 4  2)  (3  7)
( 9  6 v 10  1)  (2  7 v 5  3)  (4  8)
(10  7 v  6  2)  (3  8 v 1  4)  (5  9)
( 6  8 v  7  3)  (4  9 v 2  5)  (1 10)
( 7  9 v  8  4)  (5 10 v 3  1)  (2  6)

Leave out the last round if 9 rounds is a hard limit for you, however only players 2 and 6 will have 8 games, the rest of the players will only have 7 games.
