Hello...  Great Web Site.

Wondered if anyone has received this question before.

I have two questions concerning Golf Pairings (10 or 11 Players in our Group)

1) 6 Rounds with Two Fivesomes each day.  Minimum of overlap of playing together!

2) 6 Rounds with Two Foursomes and One Threesome each day.  Minimum Overlap as well!

Thanks....

I am afraid that it is not possible to avoid the overlap.

It is worst with 2 fivesomes, as you can not avoid some pairs playing together 4 times while others only play together twice.

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

Probem 2 is slightly better.  In this schedule,

(11 6 5 8)
(2 4 1 10)
(3 9 7 )

(2 10 9 6)
(7 1 5 3)
(4 11 8 )

(5 11 2 9)
(1 3 8 10)
(7 6 4 )

(4 1 9 5)
(8 7 6 2)
(10 3 11 )

(3 8 4 2)
(10 5 7 11)
(9 6 1 )

(6 3 4 5)
(7 8 10 9)
(2 11 1 )

most pairs play together once or twice, however 5&11 play together 3 times.
