We have 16 players and 3 doubles courts for 12 weeks.  Four people will have a BYE each week.  How do I schedule?????  Thanks!

I have made the following schedule for you where all of a player's partners are different.  Also a player will meet all the other players (either as partner or opponent) at least once and at most twice.  All players receive exactly 3 bye rounds - although these may not be optimally separated, for example player 14 15 and 16 get two byes in a row.

Week  COURT 1          COURT 2        COURT 3         BYES
  1 (7 15 v 16 12)  (2 6 v 4 5)    (3  9 v 11 10)  (1 8 13 14)
  2 (8 16 v 13  9)  (3 7 v 1 6)    (4 10 v 12 11)  (2 5 14 15)
  3 (5 13 v 14 10)  (4 8 v 2 7)    (1 11 v  9 12)  (3 6 15 16)
  4 (6 14 v 15 11)  (1 5 v 3 8)    (2 12 v 10  9)  (4 7 16 13)

  5 (11 6 v 8 2)    (4 12 v 1 13)  (16 5 v  9 14)  (3 7 10 15)
  6 (12 7 v 5 3)    (1  9 v 2 14)  (13 6 v 10 15)  (4 8 11 16)
  7 ( 9 8 v 6 4)    (2 10 v 3 15)  (14 7 v 11 16)  (1 5 12 13)
  8 (10 5 v 7 1)    (3 11 v 4 16)  (15 8 v 12 13)  (2 6  9 14)

  9 (2 3 v 16 13)   (5  9 v 15 4)  (8 14 v 7 10)   (1 6 11 12)
 10 (3 4 v 13 14)   (6 10 v 16 1)  (5 15 v 8 11)   (2 7 12  9)
 11 (4 1 v 14 15)   (7 11 v 13 2)  (6 16 v 5 12)   (3 8  9 10)
 12 (1 2 v 15 16)   (8 12 v 14 3)  (7 13 v 6  9)   (4 5 10 11)
