There is simply no good way to schedule this arrangement of players.  Below players 5 & 7 are particularly
unbalanced in terms of their opponents.

 ( 7  8 13) ( 2 12  4) ( 3 11  9) ( 1 10  6  5)
 ( 6  3  2) (12 11  1) ( 8  7  5) (13  9  4 10)
 (13  1  3) (12  9  5) (10  7  2) ( 6 11  4  8)
 (12  6 13) (11 10  5) ( 4  3  7) ( 8  9  1  2)
 ( 6  9  7) ( 2 11 13) ( 1  4  5) (10 12  8  3)

Hope that helps.
