Pickleball, 2 teams of 8 - playing 2 v 2 whist-style on 3 Courts

[vg28166]

Went to MS-Excel Trust Center but macros still not working.  For pickleball tournament, trying to create brackets for 16 players that have 8 players on each team with 2 players from each team playing against each other.  Want to be sure that players on same team play with each other only one time, but also to NOT have same players on each team always play same player on other team.  Also, have ONLY 3 Courts to use.

The Excel round-robin generator only handles singles play, so it is not going to find a solution to your pickeball tournament which is doubles with the added complication of two teams.   Actually I don't think there any nice solutions to this problem.  You might like to look at this thread which has a schedule that you might be able to adapt to 3 courts.

Thanks much for your response.  I'll give it a try and continue to play around with possibilities.
