Title: 8 players, one court, doubles matches random schedule, only 4 players per week
Post by: thegbees on June 05, 2024, 02:25:36 PM

I'd like to think I'm a relatively smart guy but I'm a complete spaz when it comes to figuring out schedules.

We have 8 guys who play pickleball regularly. Doubles matches, one court.  I've searched to try to find a way to randomize the matchups, so that we don't have the same 4 players every other week.  I just wanted to edit and make it clear, only 4 players per week.  Looking to randomize the 4 players and their pairings and matchups.  I'm sorry if I wasn't clear originally.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you all in advance.

Use the whist schedule for 8 players to have everyone partner once with each other, and oppose each other twice.  To see a schedule, click on "visit the pages that inspired the forum" at the top of the page, then click on 'Whist tables' and select 8 items. Slice this schedule up so that week 1, is round 1 table 1, week 2 is round 1 table 2, week 3 is round 2 table 1, etc.
