Can you help me?  I have 8 players, doubles format, 1 court, for 33 weeks.  How do I even begin to schedule this :-/  I want to mix up the players every week.

You could base this on a whist design (follow the schedules link above and bring up the whist schedule for 8 players).  This gives 14 matches which you could use a second time, with different assignments of your 8 players to the numbers 1 to 8.   My advice would be to stop at 28 weeks as this would be balanced with all partners twice and all opponents four times.
