Looking for a pickleball doubles round robin schedule for 9 players with the following requirements:
- each player to play 8 games
- each player to play with a different partner for each of the 8 games (understand that two players will never play as a team but that is fine)
- using 2 courts
- have 9 "rounds" where a different player sits out a round while the other 8 play
- now the key requirement is to balance as much as possible the number of times each player opposes the other players. Ideally it would be great if each player opposes the other players an equal amount but failing that to make it as balanced as possible.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

There is a fully balanced schedule for this.  For example see Julian Wiseman's website and the Individual-pairs tournament design for 9 players.
