I have 20 players signed up for my horseshoe league. I can use late comers as subs, or have a bye week for a player each week if necessary. Would like to set it up now, with each player having a different partner each week. The league would end when each player has played with each person once.

Need a schedule  Thanks

If when you say "with each person once" you mean play as a partner with each player once then what you need is a Whist schedule. Click on the schedules link above and then dial up a Whist schedule for 20 players. This will give a league of 19 rounds where all possible partnerships occur exactly once and all players meet in opposition exactly twice.

Does that help?
