Please help me figure out a schedule for 24 players for 16 weeks.  I have made myself crazy trying to do it.  Thanks

Please would you describe the format of play,  pairs, threesomes or foursomes?

It's not as perfect as I would like as there are a handful of pairs of players who only meet once.  All other pairs meet two or three times.
