How do I pair up twelve players, rotating partners for six rounds with the most variety?

About the best you can do is the following:

   (6  9 v 5 10) (12 8 v 1 7) (11 4 v 2  3)
   (4  7 v 6 11) (10 9 v 2 8) (12 5 v 3  1)
   (5  8 v 4 12) (11 7 v 3 9) (10 6 v 1  2)
   (2 11 v 1  5) ( 8 9 v 3 6) (10 4 v 7 12)
   (3 12 v 2  6) ( 9 7 v 1 4) (11 5 v 8 10)
   (1 10 v 3  4) ( 7 8 v 2 5) (12 6 v 9 11)

where all the partnerships are different and all pairs oppose at least once.

Hope that helps.
