Please help. I am trying to come up with a schedule for 6 couples playing tennis on 2 courts for 28 weeks (playing once a week). Does anyone have good advice on how to do this? Thanks

A little more information please. Are you playing mixed doubles? (If yes, should playing with or against your spouse be allowed?) Do the 8 people who play in one week have to be 4 of the couples? (If yes, this complicates things a lot).

Not sure how to post but I would like help in figuring out how many matches it would require for 5 players to play with each player and against every combo of players in doubles. Is there a mathematical algorithm?

If you are playing ordinary doubles then you need to look for the Whist schedules. The mathematics only work when there are 4n players or 4n+1 players. If you follow the schedules link at the top of the page you can find the 4n schedules, a schedule for 5 players can be found here on the Wiseman web site (http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/tournaments/individual-pairs/ip-pure_05.html).
