Title: Mixed doubles format
Post by: edvic on July 17, 2011, 01:39:19 PM

I am running a mixed doubles round robin with 16 players, 8 males and 8 females, 3 courts, 7 rounds where every male plays once with every female.  Is there a good format for this?  Thanks for any help.

I doubt there are any good solutions, at best each player will get only 5 or 6 games and so there must be 2 or 3 mixed doubles partners who they never play with.  I would start with this schedule and then try to remove one court per round.
