14 euchre players at 3 tables, 7 rounds, 2 byes

[mikesexe]

This was orinally posted on 12/31/05 and I didn't see any replies.  We are hosting euchre night with 14 players and 3 tables.  I'm looking for 7 round schedule with 2 players sitting out each round where players are not partnered together more than once and players are seated with every player at some point in 7 rounds.
 
Thanks for any help that you can offer.

I would be interested in seeing this solution as well, as my video game tournament was initially contructed with the aid of a 2-table euchre setup (which I have successfully used in the past in both euchre and video games.)

I believe the following schedule solves the problem as specified in 2005.

   Table 1         Table 2       Table 3      Byes
(10  9 v 12 2)  ( 7 11 v 5 1)  (4 3 v 6  8)  (0 13)
(11 10 v 13 3)  ( 8 12 v 6 2)  (5 4 v 0  9)  (1  7)
(12 11 v  7 4)  ( 9 13 v 0 3)  (6 5 v 1 10)  (2  8)
(13 12 v  8 5)  (10  7 v 1 4)  (0 6 v 2 11)  (3  9)
( 7 13 v  9 6)  (11  8 v 2 5)  (1 0 v 3 12)  (4 10)
( 8  7 v 10 0)  (12  9 v 3 6)  (2 1 v 4 13)  (5 11)
( 9  8 v 11 1)  (13 10 v 4 0)  (3 2 v 5  7)  (6 12)

But perhaps it might be possible to do better with the opponent balance? Here the bye pairs all oppose each other twice on table 2.

Hope that helps.

Ian,

Thank you for you response.  The card night was a complete success as players that were not at one of the tables were munching at the food table, kibitzing, or just cathing up wit the latest...  Thanks again
