Title: 32 players
Post by: Les Belcher(Guest) on December 30, 2005, 11:17:04 PM

Your site seems to address some of the pairing problems I'm struggling with.  However, I still haven't come across an answer for my golf scheduling problem.

I have 32 players divided into four groups - ABCD.  How do I schedule four man teams of ABCD players to play five times and not play more than once with another player?

Les,

If the team members are A1-A8, B1-B8, C1-C8 and D1-D8 then the following schedule of 5 rounds ensures that no two players play twice in a foursome.

Round	Teams
1	(A1,B2,C1,D6) (A2,B4,C4,D7) (A3,B8,C2,D8) (A4,B5,C8,D1) (A5,B3,C5,D5) (A6,B1,C7,D4) (A7,B6,C3,D3) (A8,B7,C6,D2)
2	(A1,B4,C2,D2) (A2,B7,C1,D8) (A3,B2,C5,D3) (A4,B3,C7,D6) (A5,B5,C4,D4) (A6,B6,C8,D7) (A7,B8,C6,D5) (A8,B1,C3,D1)
3	(A1,B7,C4,D3) (A2,B1,C5,D2) (A3,B3,C6,D7) (A4,B4,C1,D4) (A5,B6,C2,D1) (A6,B8,C3,D6) (A7,B5,C7,D8) (A8,B2,C8,D5)
4	(A1,B6,C6,D4) (A2,B8,C8,D3) (A3,B7,C7,D1) (A4,B1,C2,D5) (A5,B2,C3,D7) (A6,B5,C1,D2) (A7,B4,C5,D6) (A8,B3,C4,D8)
5	(A1,B1,C8,D8) (A2,B3,C3,D4) (A3,B6,C1,D5) (A4,B7,C5,D7) (A5,B8,C7,D2) (A6,B4,C6,D3) (A7,B2,C4,D1) (A8,B5,C2,D6)
