round robin shcedule

Hi,

I have been looking at your schedules and they are great but I have one that isn't covered.  I have been trying to sort it out for a long time and haven't been able to.

28 players.  4 players per game.  7 games per round.  9 rounds.  Games are all vs all for the 4 players.

What I need is a draw where they play every other oponent only once.

For example, if game 1 round 1 was 1v2v3v4 then player 1 can't play 2,3 or 4 in the remaining games.

Thanks.

Use this schedule here.  Just ignore the partnerships and make the four players at each table a foursome in your tournament.

Thanks for that Ian.  I actually found that one but it is missing something.

I am designing a tenpin bowling tournament.  The 7 games each round are on 7 pairs of lanes that at times play differently.

Is it possible to have the first 7 rounds so that each player/team plays on each of the 7 pairs of lanes?  After that I realise some teams will play on a pair of lanes twice for the remaining 2 rounds and this isnt an issue.

Thanks in advance

Gary.

P.S. I have been looking for a long time and this is by far the best place to find information like this.  Congrats to all involved on a great site.
