A cyclic schedule for 7 players can be formed by using match 1 as the bye match.

Let player 1 be a ghost, and the other player in match 1 sits out the round.

I dont understand that.
Please can you explain it to me.

Hi HGS,

When it says player 1 is the ghost, it means that you should take the schedule for 8 players, and then delete all the matches that involve player 1. This will leave you with a schedule that involves 7 players ( numbered from 2 to 8 ) with 3 matches per round.  In each round, the player who was scheduled to play the ghost in the original schedule, is now the player with the bye.

Hope that helps,

Ian

Hallo Ian,
Thank you for your answer.
I changed the table as follow:



Is it possible to change it for 2 Courts ?
I hope you know what I mean. My english is not so good.

Yes, remove the match 4 column to leave 7 rounds on 2 courts.  The removed matches can then be rearranged into 3 more rounds as follows:
( 4 5) ( 2 8 )
( 3 4) ( 7 8 )
( 2 3) ( 6 7 )
which leaves ( 5 6) to be played in an 11th round on its own.
