see Ed Pegg's page where he discusses How long can 20 golfers play in foursomes? (https://web.archive.org/web/20120503232317/http://www.maa.org/editorial/mathgames/mathgames_08_14_07.html).  5 rounds is actually the limit, in the sense that a 6 round schedule where each player has 18 different opponents does not exist.
