After all I've seen on this website I'm sure this is probably a slam dunk for someone, but -

I'm still having difficulty with scheduling a round robin Euchre tournament schedule where there are 10 players for two tables of 4, and I want all 10 of us to be able to play at least once with each other player as their partner. So I've been trying but keep coming up with a schedule that gives players 2-10 two "bye" rounds - but player 1 plays all 9 rounds....?  
I also tried factoring in 12 players - having two as "ghost" players which worked great until I had the two ghosts both sitting out as a bye - still leaving me with 5 teams of two for only two tables......

Thoughts?
Many thanks!

I think you will need at least 12 rounds if you want everyone to partner everyone else at least once.  However a similar question has been asked before and this schedule for 15 rounds would probably work well for you.

Many thanks, this will work great! I figured it had come up before, but apparently couldn't find it.
Best,

Denise
