8 player doubles round robin
I am looking to organize a Padel tournament in which I would like 8 players to all play 7 doubles matches (all 7 matches with a different team mate) against another couple.
What I would like to create is a playing schedule on 2 courts where:
- each player plays 7 matches
- in all 7 matches of each player they form a couple with a different player
- all 8 players compete against the other 7 players 2 times
So example of the first 2 match rounds:
Round 1:
Court A: P1 and P2 vs P3 and P4, Court B: P5 and P6 vs P7 and P8
Round 2:
Court A: P1 and P7 vs P2 and P6, Court B: P3 and P8 vs P4 and P5
In this example P5 and P8 have already faced each other twice, so they cannot face each other anymore. They do still have to form a couple together in one of the remaining rounds.
Who can help me with the solution?
I've searched on Google, but no perfect solution yet. The 'facing each player exactly twice' is the biggest challenge.
