Is there any way to do a 12-team round robin where teams play back-to-back games? We have 3 courts we want to use and would like teams to play back-to-back if possible. Worst case, play sit, play. Any help is appreciated.

Perhaps the following schedule might help, most players play most of their games in long runs.  For example player I is the best, as they have all games together in rounds 6 to 16.  Player A is the worst, with runs of 5 games, 4 games, 1 game & 1 game.
