Looking for a mixed round-robin tennis draws for 24 players (12 ladies, 12 men),
where men play with a different lady every round, and play against a different male
and a different female as much as possible.  We have 6 courts available and would
like to play a maximum of 6 rounds, same day.

No need to be concerned about scoring or anything other variables.

Hi Ron,
I have made the schedule below which I think will work for you.  Each row contains the 6 games played in 1 round.

(m04 f09 v m08 f08) (m05 f05 v m10 f06) (m06 f07 v m03 f10) (m01 f03 v m11 f04) (m09 f12 v m07 f01) (m12 f02 v m02 f11)
(m12 f12 v m06 f10) (m02 f09 v m01 f06) (m11 f02 v m10 f07) (m03 f03 v m09 f08) (m07 f04 v m04 f05) (m08 f01 v m05 f11)
(m11 f05 v m09 f11) (m06 f09 v m10 f03) (m03 f02 v m07 f06) (m02 f12 v m08 f04) (m01 f10 v m04 f01) (m05 f07 v m12 f08)
(m08 f12 v m11 f06) (m02 f10 v m07 f08) (m10 f01 v m12 f03) (m04 f07 v m09 f09) (m01 f05 v m06 f02) (m05 f04 v m03 f11)
(m12 f05 v m03 f09) (m10 f04 v m08 f10) (m11 f08 v m06 f01) (m07 f11 v m01 f07) (m09 f03 v m02 f06) (m05 f12 v m04 f02)
(m05 f09 v m11 f10) (m12 f04 v m09 f02) (m08 f03 v m07 f05) (m06 f11 v m04 f06) (m10 f08 v m01 f12) (m02 f01 v m03 f07)

A players 6 partners are all different, and a players 12 opponents are all different, however there is some overlap, so most players have one player who they meet twice (once as partner and once as opponent). Hope that helps.
