Your site seems to address some of the pairing problems I'm struggling with.  However, I still haven't come across an answer for my golf scheduling problem.

I have 32 players divided into four groups - ABCD.  How do I schedule four man teams of ABCD players to play five times and not play more than once with another player?

Les,

If the team members are A1-A8, B1-B8, C1-C8 and D1-D8 then the following schedule of 5 rounds ensures that no two players play twice in a foursome.

RoundTeams
1(A1,B2,C1,D6) (A2,B4,C4,D7) (A3,B8,C2,D8) (A4,B5,C8,D1)
(A5,B3,C5,D5) (A6,B1,C7,D4) (A7,B6,C3,D3) (A8,B7,C6,D2)
2(A1,B4,C2,D2) (A2,B7,C1,D8) (A3,B2,C5,D3) (A4,B3,C7,D6)
(A5,B5,C4,D4) (A6,B6,C8,D7) (A7,B8,C6,D5) (A8,B1,C3,D1)
3(A1,B7,C4,D3) (A2,B1,C5,D2) (A3,B3,C6,D7) (A4,B4,C1,D4)
(A5,B6,C2,D1) (A6,B8,C3,D6) (A7,B5,C7,D8) (A8,B2,C8,D5)
4(A1,B6,C6,D4) (A2,B8,C8,D3) (A3,B7,C7,D1) (A4,B1,C2,D5)
(A5,B2,C3,D7) (A6,B5,C1,D2) (A7,B4,C5,D6) (A8,B3,C4,D8)
5(A1,B1,C8,D8) (A2,B3,C3,D4) (A3,B6,C1,D5) (A4,B7,C5,D7)
(A5,B8,C7,D2) (A6,B4,C6,D3) (A7,B2,C4,D1) (A8,B5,C2,D6)
