Hi there,

I am having a euchre tournament in 3 days and need help!

I am having 26 people, with 6 tables so that leaves 2 people sitting each round.

Can you help me come up with a schedule?

Thanks!

The schedule below is larger than you want as it has 13 rounds.  This is fair in the sense that everyone gets exactly one bye.

(K X v S A) (F C v B V) (L T v N W) (R I v P D) (U Z v Y H) (M E v G Q) (J O)
(L Y v T B) (G D v C W) (M U v O X) (S J v Q E) (V N v Z I) (A F v H R) (K P)
(M Z v U C) (H E v D X) (A V v P Y) (T K v R F) (W O v N J) (B G v I S) (L Q)
(A N v V D) (I F v E Y) (B W v Q Z) (U L v S G) (X P v O K) (C H v J T) (M R)
(B O v W E) (J G v F Z) (C X v R N) (V M v T H) (Y Q v P L) (D I v K U) (A S)
(C P v X F) (K H v G N) (D Y v S O) (W A v U I) (Z R v Q M) (E J v L V) (B T)
(D Q v Y G) (L I v H O) (E Z v T P) (X B v V J) (N S v R A) (F K v M W) (C U)
(E R v Z H) (M J v I P) (F N v U Q) (Y C v W K) (O T v S B) (G L v A X) (D V)
(F S v N I) (A K v J Q) (G O v V R) (Z D v X L) (P U v T C) (H M v B Y) (E W)
(G T v O J) (B L v K R) (H P v W S) (N E v Y M) (Q V v U D) (I A v C Z) (F X)
(H U v P K) (C M v L S) (I Q v X T) (O F v Z A) (R W v V E) (J B v D N) (G Y)
(I V v Q L) (D A v M T) (J R v Y U) (P G v N B) (S X v W F) (K C v E O) (H Z)
(J W v R M) (E B v A U) (K S v Z V) (Q H v O C) (T Y v X G) (L D v F P) (I N)


Everyone should have 12 different partners and 24 different opponents.  Playing any 8 rounds of the above should give a reasonable schedule.

Hope I am not too late!
