We are hosting our annual euchre tournament and may end up with 14 players instead of 16.  I saw posts earlier regarding this same issue but no answer.  Someone posted playing 7 rounds but then the party will end too early.  Playing 13-14 rounds will go too long.  I don't have a problem with 2 people sitting out each round.  Any help?  THANK YOU!

You could play the following 10 rounds:

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

It is not ideal as 6 players will have 8 games each and the other 8 players will have 9 games each.
