Hi,
I am trying to create a round-robin table in excel where the matches change depending on the number of players. This is for a golf league where we play 18 weeks. there are 20 golfers. we play individual golfers so there are 10 matches per week. I setup an excel spreadsheet with the weeks 1 through 18 across the top and the 1 through 20 vertically representing the golfers. I have the the have the numbers 1-20 rotating successfully. I am close but need a little help. I will be happy to send the spreadsheet

Have you looked at this Excel workbook? It generates complete round-robins, but for your 20 golfer/18 week problem you could simply leave out one of the 19 rounds. For less than 18 players you will need to add rounds from a second round-robin to get upto to 18 weeks. Finally note that if you leave out rounds from a round-robin with an odd number of players, you will upset the balance of the byes, so that some players get one more game than others.
