Title: Eight Golfer Round Robin
Post by: Kent on April 21, 2007, 06:45:39 PM

I have a tournament upcoming with 8 golfers.  Each player will play 7 matches as a 2-man team, each match to be played with a different golfer - A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H.  I have identified 28 combinations of golfer teams: AB, AC, AD, AE, AF, AG, AH, BC, BD, BE, BF, BG, BH, CD, CE, CF, CG, CH, DE, DF, DG, DH, EF, EG, EH, FG, FH, GH.  One objective is that during the tournament each player will play against each other player only 2 times.  This way, every player plays with each player and against each player the same number of times.  I have tried to put the schedule together by T&E without success.  Does anybody have an idea on how to accomplish my task?
Thanks for the assistance.

You have exactly described the arrangement found in an 8 player Whist schedule. (https://www.devenezia.com/downloads/round-robin/rounds.php?it=8&v=w1)

Change the label table to foursome and you are on your way.
