Pickleball Round Robin 3 courts

[Kate_Speed]

Hi,

I was wondering if you could help with round robin pickleball doubles matches .  Nowhere can I find the information that I require.

I have information sheets for 2 courts and doubles play between the numbers of  8 and 11 playing up to  6 rounds.  10 rounds would be better however. ?

We now have 3 courts on some sessions..

I never know how many players are coming but always between 12 and 16.
Would you be able to give me the information for the 3 courts playing 10 rounds, if 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 players turn up.

It would be a godsend.
Kind regards
Kate Speed

I have looked at the 3 court scenarios.  For 12 players use the standard whist schedule for 12 items and remove the last round - you can find an example here.  The other schedules will all have some players having one more game than others - I can find reasonable solutions for 13, 14 and 15 players but I think 16 players is particularly difficult and I have nothing good yet.  Below each game (A B C D) should be played as (A B vs C D).
