14 teams, 2 days - big problem

[franjo17]

I'm a managing two leagues, and I need help with creating fixtures...

this is the setup for my league...

1. 1:14 2:13 3:12 4:11 5:10 6:9 7:8  
2. 14:8 9:7 10:6 11:5 12:4 13:3 1:2  
3. 2:14 3:1 4:13 5:12 6:11 7:10 8:9  
4. 14:9 10:8 11:7 12:6 13:5 1:4 2:3  
5. 3:14 4:2 5:1 6:13 7:12 8:11 9:10  
6. 14:10 11:9 12:8 13:7 1:6 2:5 3:4  
7. 4:14 5:3 6:2 7:1 8:13 9:12 10:11  
8. 14:11 12:10 13:9 1:8 2:7 3:6 4:5  
9. 5:14 6:4 7:3 8:2 9:1 10:13 11:12  
10. 14:12 13:11 1:10 2:9 3:8 4:7 5:6  
11. 6:14 7:5 8:4 9:3 10:2 11:1 12:13  
12. 14:13 1:12 2:11 3:10 4:9 5:8 6:7  
13. 7:14 8:6 9:5 10:4 11:3 12:2 13:1

the problem is that I need 2 (or 1) matches of every round to be played on saturday, and other 5 (or 6) on sunday....
bigger problem is that I just can't get teams to play approximatly same number of games on saturday...
every team plays home and away, so that there is 26 rounds... I need someone to balance teams to play  
same ammount of games on saturday (2 or 1)...
please someone help me, cause I'm running nuts!!!

schedule is attached below...

EDIT: in last two rounds, all matches will be played on sunday... so this is eve tougher... teams must be balanced in 11 rounds... DAMN!!!!

Hi,

you can use the Excel generator here which will give you something like this:

(2 6) (4 13) (9 3) (5 14) (12 11) (8 7) (10 1)
(6 7) (8 5) (12 14) (11 10) (1 3) (4 9) (2 13)
(7 13) (2 9) (1 4) (12 8) (3 10) (14 11) (6 5)
(13 5) (6 12) (11 8) (1 2) (10 14) (3 4) (7 9)
(14 4) (11 2) (10 5) (6 1) (13 9) (7 12) (3 8)
(4 8) (9 10) (13 1) (7 11) (5 12) (6 3) (14 2)
(9 12) (13 11) (14 6) (3 7) (4 2) (1 5) (8 10)
(1 11) (10 6) (8 13) (4 5) (2 7) (9 14) (12 3)
(10 2) (5 3) (4 7) (14 13) (8 6) (12 1) (9 11)
(12 10) (14 7) (5 11) (13 3) (9 1) (2 8) (4 6)
(3 14) (1 8) (6 9) (2 12) (7 5) (10 13) (11 4)
(5 9) (7 1) (3 2) (10 4) (14 8) (11 6) (13 12)
(11 3) (12 4) (7 10) (8 9) (6 13) (5 2) (1 14)

and so you could make the first column the Saturday matches and the rest of the columns the Sunday matches.  Note you should also assign the match between 1 and 8 in round 11 to be on the Saturday, and then every team will play exactly twice on a Saturday.
