Hey folks,
I am trying to find a spreadsheet for the following TEAM Pickleball DOUBLES, ROUND ROBIN Format.
Team A - has 10 players.
Team B - has 10 players.
I am trying to get this so there are 9 rounds. Everyone on Team A plays 1 game together and at same time, everyone on Team B plays with each other 1 time.
While this is happening, I am hoping to have each player from Team A to have the opportunity to play against Team B at least 1 time (and maybe 2 times if the math requires it).
Can you help me?
Dave

Can you give some more details please. I don't understand the format of play, so would you give an example of what round 1 might look like. I am not understanding what you mean by 'doubles' in this context, and the A vs B games are confusing me too. Thanks.

Ian, Thank you for your response.
Team A = TEAM California
Player 1 - Player 10
TEAM B - TEAM NEW York
Player 1 - Player 10
9 rounds of Pickleball.
Round 1
court 1 - A1 and A2 vs B1 and B2
Court 2 - A3 and A4 vs. B3 and B4
Court 3 - A5 and A6 vs. B5 and B6
Court 4 - A7 and A8 vs. B7 and B8
Court 5 - A9 and A10 vs. B9 and B10
My goal is the following. Every member on team A to play with each other 1 time, and every member of Team B to play with each other 1 time. (I can figure this part out). This is 9 games.
However, I am trying to also have it be that A1 is playing with everyone from the B team 1-2 times, so that each member from team A gets to play against everyone from TEAM B at least 1 time or two times.
Does this make sense?

i can get this so everyone on Team A is playing with each other in the 9 rounds. and I can get everyone on Team B to play with each other.
Now the tricky part is getting Team A to play against each person on Team B at least 1-2 times. That is where I am pulling my hair out!

Any feedback on this? I am hosting this tomorrow. so I was hoping to get a response in time to implement your version vs. mine...

Sorry for the late reply - I went away for 3 days and was not checking the message board. Actually, I don't know if it is possible to solve the problem with 9 rounds and 5 courts, however I do know a way to do it in 10 rounds as detailed below (5 short rounds with only 4 courts and 5 full rounds on 5 courts). Perhaps that may be some use next time?
